Past Projects

 

This project included the review and design of the industrial ventilation systems for this plastic molding plant. This included new summer ventilation, make up air systems and automated controls to maintain area pressure relationships. This also included new rooftop make up air equipment, filtered supply vent fans, power upgrades and structural support modifications. Finally, this project included Honeywell Webs automated controls to monitor the new equipment and maintain space pressure. Lockport, IL.

MAGENTA

This project included new dust collection, NFPA 652 dust hazard analysis, hepa filtration, mixer collection hoods, solvent & dosing booths, exhaust, summer ventilation and compressor room ventilation. This included the new rooftop HVAC equipment, power upgrades and structural modifications. The project also included web based automated controls to monitor the new equipment and maintain space pressure. Homewood, IL.

INX

This project included the review and design of corrugation machine ventilation, general summer ventilation, dust collection and compressor ventilation. This included steam exhaust hoods, make up air and supply vents for room pressure and humidity control. This included the new rooftop HVAC equipment, power upgrades, fire protection upgrades and structural modifications. The project also included web based automated controls to monitor the new equipment and maintain space pressure. New Lenox, IL.

WestRock

This project included new dust collection systems, process HVAC systems, hepa filtration, process low humidity control and plant compressed air heat recovery systems. Other systems include process steam, warehouse heating and summer ventilation. This included the new rooftop HVAC equipment, power upgrades, fire protection upgrades, fire alarm upgrades and structural modifications. The project also included web based automated controls to monitor the new equipment and maintain space pressure. Sycamore, IL.

Tate & Lyle

This project included a review of the entire complex HVAC systems for both the plant and the office areas. This included an energy analysis, process ventilation and process heating systems. The plant heating was consolidated and Federal Signal received significant utility incentives from both ComEd and Nicor. This included the new rooftop HVAC equipment, power upgrades, fire protection upgrades, fire alarm upgrades and structural modifications. The project also included web based automated controls to monitor the new equipment and maintain space pressure. University Park, IL.

Federal Signal

This project included a review of the entire HVAC systems for both the plant and the office areas. This included an energy analysis, process ventilation and process heating systems. Through our Hawkeye Energy Solutions division, the project included a new building automation system and metering systems to permanently monitor energy and utilities in real time. Chicago, IL.

Tootsie Roll

This project included a review of the existing tower water system serving process heat exchangers as well as two existing chillers. The new tower water system was upgraded and re-designed to match the expanded capacity of the process while conserving energy with multiple modes of operation, variable speed drives and automated controls upgrades. Lincolnshire, IL.

Parker Hannifin

Crown Metal is a leading supplier of store fixture hardware and many custom metal parts. Their current 120,000 square foot manufacturing plant was served by two large very inefficient make-up air units. United Engineering analyzed the facility and designed a more efficient system using high temperature direct fired heating technology. This project is estimated to reduce heating costs by up to 40% and provide a payback in less than one year. Elmhurst, IL.

Crown Metal

This facility processed various pharmaceuticals including Class 1 narcotics located in a DEA vault. United Engineering added air conditioning to the production and DEA vault areas. This included the new rooftop HVAC equipment, power upgrades, fire protection upgrades, fire alarm upgrades and structural modifications. United Engineering reviewed, designed and construction managed this project from start to finish. Buffalo Grove, IL.
