How we do all of this comes down to three critical factors:

• Holistic knowledge of your facility In the early stages, we closely study how the building is being constructed and how all space and systems work together. And we build with future maintenance in mind, so that service technicians will have ample room and easy access to the systems.
• High-purity fabrication operation Inside our 90,000-square-foot fabrication shop is a Class-1000 “clean room” shop. Here, we use orbital welding to create high-purity stainless steel and hygienic piping to ISO-level standards.
• Attention to the smallest detail Your lab is more than a punch list. So your mechanical and plumbing partner must think through each specification as if they were occupying the lab. You won’t find a more exacting, meticulous team than ours.

Here's how we keep that promise:

• Hire and retain talented people. Talent can’t be claimed – it has to be proven. The way we screen and hire our professionals allows us to see if they’re a good fit. If they are, they tend to stay for a long while.
• Keep the team safe. With safety, we take no shortcuts and spare no expense. Every day begins with a team analysis of job hazards. And every employee is authorized to stop work if he/she observes an unsafe practice. Our mantra: Go home the way you came in.
• Leverage equipment and process to ensure consistency. We fabricate systems, piping and multi-trade racks in a state-of-the-art shop (90,000 sq. ft.). A Class-1000 “clean room” shop allows us to fabricate high-purity stainless steel and hygienic piping to ISO-level standards.
• Meticulously track project steps and details. We use advanced technology to integrate information into all facets of a project, from estimating through building turnover. This helps assure pricing, protect scheduling and promote accountability. Deliverables must meet clearly defined standards.
• Choose partners carefully. We work only with a select group of experienced subcontractors, whom we’ve partnered with for decades. And we bring in licensed, independent professionals – dedicated to each worksite – to inspect the work of our team before it’s delivered.

• We expect high performance and provide our people with unbending support. In turn, they take great pride and ownership in their work.
• We envision what our mechanical and plumbing work will be like for those who build, use and maintain the facilities we support. The end result is foremost in mind.
• We see ourselves as problem solvers but never believe we have all of the answers. Every project brings a lesson learned.

• So much space to fill, yet so little room: The story of our work on CDC’s biggest lab to date.
• Emory’s world-class research facility brought an unusual challenge. We answered.
• When hotter technology demands cooler environments: How we solved a big issue at a big university.
