Westlake/Lasco Pipe & Fittings
Project Overview
Westlake Lasco Pipe & Fittings’ facility in Brownsville, Tennessee, required a major HVAC upgrade to enhance climate control and operational efficiency in its manufacturing environment. This project involved the installation of twenty-two (22) 25-ton cooling-only rooftop units to ensure optimal temperature management for industrial operations. Upchurch provided strategic facility planning and facility services to deliver a seamless and efficient installation.
Our Approach
Leveraging our expertise in complex environments, Upchurch executed a strategic and safety-focused approach to the project, including:
