"General provided excellent, on-schedule quality work. The installation was a real team effort, which is not unusual for them." -Don Wolfe, Fluor Brothers/Oshkosh; General Contractor for the Dairyland Power Plant

The recent work on the Weston Power Plant is a prime example of our specialized production capacity and installation expertise. All the ductwork, including the exterior portion shown above, which was suspended on the Plant's facade for efficiency, was fabricated and installed by General.

Our expert custom fabricators have more than production skills; they "speak the language" of industrial ventilation. Our engineers understand industrial hygiene and the thermal relationship between occupants and their environment. Furthermore, we are familiar with heat exposure control, make up air requirements, and heat recovery. We also know and understand EPA compliance issues.

Our plasma cutting table can handle plate material up to a half-inch thick, and we routinely cut, roll, form and weld carbon steel up to a quarter-inch thick. Our ductwork production involves welded, companion angle-joint, clamped, and/or flanged construction, with proper (non-silicone based) sealants.

We have significant experience with breechings, stacks, conveyors and chutes. We have installed dust collection systems for saw and coal dust, as well as spray paint booths. We even offer industrial duct system cleaning.

"We schedule a lot of work with General, but the Chilled Water Pumps Project on the UW Campus called for an especially tight timetable. The piping had to be replaced during the time the University cooling system wasn't in use; it was critical because of the costs and needs of the various research efforts going on. The job required close communication. General was on top of it all." -Dave Beck-Engle Project Manager J.H. Findorff & Son, Inc.

General Heating and Air Conditioning's "pre-fab" capabilities can be a major factor in completing projects on schedule and on budget.

Heavy Piping projects require a sophisticated level of technical, engineering and construction expertise. Pre-planning, proper material handling and coordination are the critical requirements for a proper installation. General has these capabilities as well as proven on-the-job experience. We fully understand the importance of minimizing downtime in order to keep our customer's on-going operation running as smoothly as possible.

Many of our contracts have required the ability to handle the proper fitting and installation of 8" to 48" round steel pipes. We have also installed large underground high pressure steam and condensate piping in box conduits to serve a group of buildings, such as on the University of Wisconsin--Madison campus.

We have the ability to pre-fabricate piping assemblies "off-site". This allows the project to continue at a steady pace, eliminating costly delays, and results in minimal disruption.

Our substantial experience gives us an advantage in replacement projects that may require the partial removal of walls, floors and/or roof structures to accommodate large pieces of major equipment such as centrifugal chillers, boilers, feedwater systems, pumps, cooling towers and tanks.
