EMCOR Group, Inc. Subsidiary Awarded Contract For The Mechanical And Process Piping Systems At North American Stainless Steel Company

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, October 28, 2008 - EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune 500® leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses, announced that its DeBra-Kuempel subsidiary has received a contract to fabricate and install mechanical and process piping systems at the North American Stainless Steel Company in Ghent, Kentucky.

 

DeBra-Kuempel will be responsible for the fast track fabrication and installation of the mechanical and process piping systems involved in the addition of a new Annealing/Pickling line that will process lighter gauge stainless steel sheet in a continuous operation. Phase I of the project includes the installation of 1000 feet of high-pressure steam/condensate piping throughout the facility, without interrupting production.  The project's phase II involves the fabrication and installation of all the process piping for the new Annealing/Pickling line along with all the supporting process utilities such as those providing steam, condensate, compressed air, instrument air and industrial water.  Specialized materials, which require an expertise in fabricating, are required throughout the project.  Both the fast track schedule and the fabrication of assemblies require DeBra-Kuempel working two 12-hour shifts, seven days a week so as to complete this project on the required schedule.

 

"DeBra-Kuempel is well known for its experience and expertise in delivering against exacting and complex specifications, as well as its skill in fabricating materials such as high density polypropylene and stainless steel, core competencies that are leveraged extensively throughout work on this project," said Joseph Clark, President and CEO of DeBra-Kuempel. "We appreciate the confidence North American Stainless has shown in its selection of DeBra-Kuempel to assist in the expansion of its critical infrastructure."
