Our Capabilities in Industrial work includes:
- A workforce that recognizes customer requirements for a safe work environment during round-the-clock critical shutdowns. Our Company Safety Program governs strict OSHA and customer safety policies and procedures during field erection by Menold. Our adherence to your safety standards (which may exceed OSHA's) is coordinated with your required turnover timetable, which Menold is committed to accommodate.
- Design, fabrication and installation of air-handling, fume control, process drying, dust collection, air conveying, general heating and ventilating systems
- Ductwork fabricated from carbon steel up to 1/4-inch thick or stainless steel up to 3/16-inch thick, with gasketed or welded flanges if required. AWS certified weld procedures and can be provided when specified.
- We can roll angle and flat bar ring flanges up to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Grinding, polishing ductwork interiors for contact with product, fabricated to SMACNA Industrial Duct Construction Standards.
- For special corrosive application, we can furnish and install duct and air-handling equipment from FRP (fiberglass-reinforced plastic).
- Refurbishing, upgrading older air-handlers, scrubbers, process drying hoods, and ovens on 'round-the-clock schedules to minimize your downtime. Our rigging experience is vital here, because in the upgrading process we often handle equipment and machinery weighing many tons.
- Advanced CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) processes in ductwork and related plasma-arc-cutting and fabrication.
- Design, fabrication and installation of single- or double- wall fan/coil air handling units; with optional prewiring and premounted controls - a time-saving advantage at job sites; Custom fabrication allows us to reduce standard factory lead times by 50% or more in most cases. These units can also be shipped knocked-down for on-site assembly in tight spaces.
- Refurbishing or replacing process drying hoods on paper making machines. We have performed this work on paper machines in the Philadelphia area and Connecticut.
- Fabrication and installation of custom OSHA compliant guards for machine drives
