Nike AirMI – Manufacturing Facility Expansion

Murphy Company successfully installed all mechanical and plumbing systems for the multi-million expansion of Nike AirMI’s manufacturing facility in St. Charles, Missouri. This extensive project was completed without disrupting the 24/7 operation of the international footwear manufacturer.

The facility’s new water-cooled chiller plant consists of three 600-ton HVAC chillers and two 600-ton process chillers, eight cooling tower cells, and new pumping systems.

This design-assist project involves three separate manufacturing building additions with new utilities and HVAC service for each addition. Murphy upgraded the existing building with all-new HVAC systems including six new 160-ton chilled water air-handling units and two 25,000 cfm dedicated outdoor air units.

Murphy Company’s careful planning and execution ensured that the facility’s operations continued uninterrupted while significantly enhancing its mechanical and plumbing capabilities.
