CHICAGO 31st HARBOR MARINA PROJECT

Our team was excited to be contracted by the city of Chicago to design, customize, and install a cutting-edge geothermal system for the new 31st Street Marina. The innovative Slim Jim® application, specifically tailored for this project, was expertly submerged in the depths of Lake Michigan, marking a significant milestone in eco-friendly and sustainable energy solutions for the city.

PROJECT DETAILS

As part of the Chicago Sustainable Development Policy directives, the City of Chicago has expressed a strong and unwavering desire to retrofit the Chicago 31st Street Marina with state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly technology and was aimed at ensuring minimal impact on the delicate natural surroundings of the area, thereby showcasing the city's resolute commitment to sustainable practices.

This initiative stands as a testament to the city's dedication to preserving the local ecosystem, ensuring that it remains a vibrant and thriving haven for future generations to cherish and benefit from. As a result, our geothermal systems have been meticulously designed and installed in fulfillment of this goal.
