Despite our contract requiring the HVAC heating equipment not to be operational until March 2010, we were able to fire up the per-manent system for temporary heat No-vember 1 to keep theworkforce com-fortable during the early fall chill.

The Kirk Williams Company was involved in the design of the HVAC, plumbing, and medical gas systems in the facility, and was able to com-plete the project within budget and on schedule by bringing thoughtful design and competent installation together.

Kirk Williams Company remains on the leading edge of Building Information Mod-eling (BIM) technology by incorporating NavisWorks® software into our 3 dimension-al design and coordination drawings. This allows us to participate with other trades, en-gineers, and owners in 5 dimensional virtual walk throughs during the design phase. This platform increases construction efficiency by proactively detecting potential clashes before they become costly on site.

This addition is a continuation of our com-mitment to investing in technology that in-creases our productivity and efficiency. We have been using detailed 3 dimensional co-ordination drawings for over a decade, and we successfully incorporated the Bentley® BIM viewing platform into our coordination process for the 2006 renovations of the Mc-Cracken Power Plant at the Ohio State Uni-versity.

We look forward to upcoming opportunities to team up with clients who appreciate the value of proactive problem solving in the construction process.

This 300,000 square foot facility recently opened its doors to serve the veteran’s community. This state of the art comprehensive medical care center houses 50 medical departments. This design-build project in-cluded the installation of over 11 miles of ductwork and 27 miles of HVAC, plumbing, and medical gas piping.

Prefabricated Piping Rack SystemOur innovative design allows for medical gas, process, and hvac piping racks to be efficiently assembled in our manufacturing plant and shipped to the site ready for installation, saving time and energy on the job site. This inventive design led to a Builders Exchange Craftsmanship Award.

Digital Gasparini Brake Added Kirk Williams Company continues to improve on fabri-cation capabilities with the newest addition to its 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility.

Platemax Plasma TableCuts metal up to 1” thick at sizes up to 5’ x 20.’ Its software is linked di-rectly with our drafting department’s CAD software which allows for im-mediate collaboration between our design and fabrication departments for completely customizable and precise pattern cutting.

2008 Gasparini Digital Brake Digital controls for angle and back gauge and an input for the metal guage allow for the most precise sheet metal braking possible. 161” of bending die allows for a wide range of brake lengths.

2008 Airline Seam WelderProvides precise, consistent, and efficient joining of cylindrical sheet met-al. A wide variety of materials can be welded, including aluminum, stain-less steel, hastelloy, titanium, inconel, galvanized, aluminized, and other materials.
