§ Mechanical and Plumbing Installation For New 45,300 Square Foot Facility

Project Description

The Nebraska Machinery Company is a Nebraska based business that was founded in 1938 in North Platte.  The original intention of the business was the sale of heavy equipment.  In a series of expansions beginning in 1983 the company has grown into four divisions:  The original heavy equipment division, engine repair division, a lift truck division and a rental services division catering to the needs of construction contractors statewide.

The Nebraska Machinery project was a perfect example of the critical importance of scheduling and coordination in the construction industry.  To complete the construction of the 45,300 square foot facility in 135 business days an aggressive schedule was developed.  During the project over 15,720 feet of sanitary, domestic, hydronic and process piping and associated equipment was installed by our workforce.  Midland’s crews worked simultaneously onsite and in our fabrication shop to prefabricate every possible piping and hanger assembly in order to meet the construction deadline.  The 7,440 man-hours of work accomplished within the strict deadline of this project was performed with zero OSHA recordable accidents.  Midlands Mechanical, Inc. is proud of the efforts of our team members and their ability to deliver a high quality product on schedule, as promised.
