Our Operation Education & Training Manager, Randy Rose, and his Team have been hard at work converting our Training Room located at our Headquarters over the past few months. This room serves the MSMU apprenticeship program and training programs for those in our industry.

The renovations included new tables, chairs, and computers and an 82” flat screen for presentations and training-based slide decks. In addition to the new equipment, we have also added new walls and a refresh to the paint colors. New testing stations have been implemented as well (Pictured Below) to ensure students a safe, focused location to be trained.

The apprenticeship program is also known as MSMU is currently using an accredited association National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). This association offers an abundance of learning materials  – – Certifications, Statistics, Online Testing, and more. MSMU has developed custom books based on NCCER’s curriculum to meet industry needs related to sheet metal, piping and plumbing, and upcoming programs for Journeymen.

WPAFB Sensors Lab

Wright-Patt Air Force Base sought contractors to renovate and add onto the Sensors Lab. The HVAC portion of the project was over $13 million.

  • MSD served as the Design Assist Contractor in conjunction with Heapy Engineering for this project. In collaborating with General Contractor, Butt Construction, MSD provided Design Assist solutions for the following:
    • A large, anechoic chamber
    • An outdoor range
    • Multiple, Class-100 clean rooms
    • A three-story office building addition with DCID 6-9 requirements on many of the rooms

WPAFB Chilled Water System

The chilled water system at a high-security building on the Air Force Base was undersized and unable to keep up with demand. The facility could not operate without chilled water due to the amount of information servers in the building, and the general nature of the building itself. The entire upgrade project would need to be completed with minimal shut down time at the building. HVAC portion of this project was over $3 million.

  • MSD worked in collaboration with Diaz Construction to complete the system upgrades on time and on budget with minimal shutdowns or disruption to the facility operations.

LJB, Inc.

LJB, Inc. was renovating their Miamisburg, OH office and wanted to incorporate energy-saving upgrades.
