In this case, they actually have EXTREMELY LARGE utility risers and yes
they have SIX Independent Chillers, which support just this single floor of
a multi-floor building.

I’m more interested in how you lose six chillers all at once.

Because you're probably mistaking an air handling unit for a chiller.

I usually point people at this to get us on the same page:

If you are not so mistaken, it is important to realize that neither
roofs nor utility risers are infinitely wide to accommodate the six
independent cooling towers and refrigerant lines that would thus be
required for a single floor.  They're sharing something somewhere.
