What You'll Find Inside
The scope of work documented here
This portfolio focuses on commercial mechanical systems — the boilers, pumps, drives, controls, and piping that keep buildings running.
Steam Boiler Repairs & Rebuilds
Tube replacements, refractory, burner service, and full rebuilds on low- and high-pressure steam plants.
Hot Water Boiler Installations
Condensing and non-condensing installs with primary/secondary piping and combustion tuning.
Pump & Motor Replacements
Base-mounted, in-line, and end-suction pump swaps with alignment, coupling, and seal work.
VFD Retrofits
Drive selection, bypass wiring, and BAS integration for pumps, fans, and cooling towers.
Controls & Automation
Boiler sequencing, lead/lag, outdoor reset, and BAS points brought online and commissioned.
Mechanical Room Upgrades
Full plant replacements — demo, rigging, piping, wiring, insulation, and startup.
Hydronic System Repairs
Air/dirt separation, expansion, glycol feed, and rebalancing on chilled and heating loops.
Pipe Welding & Fabrication
Certified carbon and stainless welding on steam headers, hot water mains, and process piping.
Emergency Mechanical Response
Down boiler, flooded room, failed pump — mobilized crews with parts and rigging on hand.
