MANUFACTURING FACILITY
Brandt completed the underground sanitary, storm drain, and volatile drain systems for the underground scope of work. In addition, our team installed all base-build systems including domestic water, process water, chilled water, heating hot water, processed chilled water, compressed air, vacuum, lab gases throughout the facility. This included installing and setting all plumbing fixtures used for water distribution and disposal.
Additionally, Brandt constructed the central utility plant and performed all plumbing and mechanical work. Our team set and ducted all air handler units on the roof, started up all mechanical equipment, and valved off all process required piping off the headers for transition to drop to the desired equipment. Brandt delivered a fully operating insulated system controlled by the building automation system.
