Technology & Research
Fundament & Associates, Inc. has extensive experience in planning and designing mechanical and electrical engineering renovation projects for complex laboratory facilities, while maintaining such facilities fully occupied and operational. A number of these laboratories on major university campuses are considered highly critical in their function as many contain hazardous materials, conduct highly valuable research, or house research animals. In the conduct of our work in this area, we have had to develop project planning and strategies well beyond the disciplines of mechanical and electrical engineering. Those included development of project concepts as follows:
- Detailed project definitions
- Downtime reduction and mitigation
- Detailed construction phasing
- Design for the provision of temporary HVAC and laboratory utilities
- Impact to building considerations and planning
- Impact to occupants, on-going research and research animals
- Clear definition of contractor roles and responsibility regarding generation of noise and disturbance to building
- Clear definition of safeguarding of laboratory contents and on-going research
- Extensive project administration assistance
