Value Delivered

Shambaugh's industry leading fabrication facilities and extensive field resources were key in delivering this project; with crews that peaked at over 100 people. In the short window of time for this project, nearly 30,000 linear feet of piping was installed in and on the roof of the building and approximately 200,000 linear feet of wire was pulled.

The project was completed under budget and ahead of schedule. A key factor in the selection of Shambaugh was Zentis’ desire to have process systems ready for wet tests and product trials less than four months from completion of conceptual design.
