Project Description:
This was two projects combined into one contract and included the remodel and build out of a new research reactor lab including all building services and research gases with lab casework, 5 fume hoods and 3 enclosed reactor pods with research gases. The second project was the construction of a new Gas Storage Pad and canopy with underground gas distribution into the research building and distribution throughout the building into research labs. Both projects included upgrades to gas monitoring and alarming. This project also included the reconfiguration of the smaller existing building gas storage to upgrade fire walls and roof mounted explosion proof exhaust system and rework of fire alarm and electrical. This was a large operational and fully occupied research facility with complex systems that must be handled with research and safety as a top priority. In addition we were working throughout the building and also outside for both gas storage facilities.
