What we do around the product.
Complete listed packages: pumps, valves, sprinklers, foam and gaseous systems, matched to the hydraulic design.
One vendor, one delivery schedule and one point of accountability for MEP contractors.
Where the scope calls for execution, the group takes on the mechanical package as contractor.
