Midlands Mechanical is a long-standing mechanical contractor at the BD East facility in Columbus, Nebraska. BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) is one of the largest medical technology manufacturers in the world, and the Columbus East site plays a critical role in producing high-precision medical devices for global distribution.
Midlands Mechanical has supported Nucor Steel in Norfolk, Nebraska, since the early 1980s. Over the years, we've been involved in a wide range of mechanical projects across the facility — from new system installs and shutdown support to critical repairs and upgrades. Our long-term presence reflects a reliable partnership built on trust, responsiveness, and consistent performance in a demanding industrial environment.
Midlands Mechanical has been continuously involved with Cargill’s Nebraska City facility since original construction in the 1990s. The site includes a 120,000 sq ft plant with a 16,500 sq ft addition — and we’ve completed everything from initial build-out to critical shutdown piping, utility relocation, and specialized food-grade system work.
This plant remains one of our most active long-term clients. From underground trench work to oven system rebuilds, we’ve delivered decades of mechanical support for fast-track, complex, and production-sensitive projects.
Midlands Mechanical was selected to provide full mechanical support for the conversion of an existing 535,000 sq ft warehouse into a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for Hormel Foods. Our team installed nearly every mechanical system in the building — including underground piping, utility connections, and process systems across the entire plant.
This four story administrative building had multiple systems. Midlands Mechanical, Inc. did 3D coordination which greatly aided in the construction of this job. As with our other coordination jobs, the coordination model (in Navisworks) was used on site by our field guys to visualize what would be getting installed. We also installed Low Pressure Campus Steam and Condensate along with Chilled Water Supply and Return that was routed from the Campus Plant to new building. This was approximately 400’ from building to building, and 1,600’ of underground steel pipe with HDPE Jacket.
New Performing Arts Center Building - Aurora, CO.
MMI performed the mechanical portion on this plan / spec project which was a new facility.
After many years of project budgeting, Offutt Air Force Base decided to build a new state-of-the-art Fire / Crash Rescue Station to replace the oldest and smallest station within the Air Force command throughout the world. The 48,000 square foot facility required the coordination of several trades to complete the project. To complete the project on time an aggressive schedule was developed to allow all trades to complete their work. Creative and innovative methods of prefabrication were adopted.
After many years of use, the Army decided to build a new state-of-the-art Training and Maintenance facility to replace the pre-World War II building in north Omaha. The facility consisting of a Training Building, and Operational Maintenance Building required the coordination of several trades to complete the project. The facility is described as an 800 soldier facility serving 14 units. An average drill weekend will support over 250 soldiers. To complete the project on time an aggressive schedule was developed to allow all trades to complete their work.
The project consists of two stories of classrooms, a common area, kitchen and gymnasium. Air handling units and mechanical room were located in a crawlspace. Climate control was accomplished with seven (7) air handling units, a four pipe heating / chilled water loop, three (3) high efficiency 3,000 MBH boilers, a 200 ton chiller, a 32,500 CFM cooling tower, Ice Storage Tanks, VAV terminals, split systems, cabinet and unit heaters. Midlands Mechanical, Inc. performed all of the mechanical and plumbing work.
