Mechanical Insulation
Our mechanical insulation services reduce energy costs and control noise in industrial and commercial systems. We install fiberglass, cryogenic, and removable insulation blankets for piping, ductwork, and equipment. With expertise in pharmaceutical, power plant, and HVAC applications, we ensure compliance with safety and efficiency standards. Our solutions prevent heat loss, condensation, and system failures.
Firestop Systems
We install UL-classified firestop systems for pipe, duct, and cable penetrations in commercial buildings. Our slab edge and curtain wall fireproofing meets building codes and UL-tested standards. Services include design, installation, and maintenance of fire resistive joints and smoke seals to protect structural integrity during emergencies.
Environmental Remediation
We specialize in asbestos, lead, and mold abatement for industrial and commercial properties. Our IICRC-certified specialists use containment and HEPA filtration to safely remove contaminants. We handle regulatory compliance, disposal, and insurance coordination for projects in Southern California and beyond.

Our scaffolding services support construction, maintenance, and repair projects with system, suspended, and rolling scaffolds. We provide OSHA-compliant design, erection, and fall protection systems. With access to 35+ Irex locations, we offer equipment tracking and project management for complex industrial sites.
Certified Energy Assessments
We conduct BPI- and NIA-certified energy assessments using infrared thermography and blower door tests. Our evaluations identify heat loss, air leaks, and insulation gaps in commercial buildings.
