Services
HVAC Ductwork
We design and install commercial HVAC sheet metal ductwork systems tailored to building specifications. Our solutions ensure optimal air quality and temperature control while meeting strict safety standards. With over 50 years of experience, we deliver energy-efficient systems for new constructions and retrofits.
Industrial Ventilation
Our industrial ventilation solutions include custom exhaust systems and dust collection systems. We engineer systems for production plants and manufacturing facilities, focusing on worker safety and regulatory compliance. Our 1990s market entry established us as specialists in complex industrial airflow challenges.
3D Laser Scanning
Using Trimble TX5 laser scanners and RealWorks software, we capture precise field conditions for accurate project planning. This technology enables clash detection and design adjustments before fabrication, reducing errors and saving time for clients across all our service divisions.
Custom Fabrication
We create specialized metal components like ambulance aluminum boxes and stainless steel exhaust hoods. Our fabrication shop handles custom projects requiring precision engineering, including water jacketed tables and steel grain chutes for industrial applications.
Architectural Metalwork
Our architectural division delivers custom metal components for commercial buildings, including Renaissance Hotel renovations and Mercy Health facilities. We combine aesthetic requirements with structural integrity for projects requiring both form and function.
