Over the past 50 years, DBR Engineering Consultants, Inc. has established a reputation across Texas as a premier mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering firm. DBR has made a major investment in its healthcare engineering capabilities through the acquisition of SW Associates Consulting Engineers, Inc. in Dallas, Texas.
DBR worked with Powers Brown Architecture and Harvey Builders to complete the Daikin Texas Technology Park (DTTP) in Waller County. With a footprint of 4.23 million square feet under a single roof, the DTTP is the largest tilt-wall structure in the world, the third largest factory in the United States, and the fifth largest in the world.
DBR is pleased to be working with Energy Architecture on BYK’s newest production and research facility in Gonzales, Texas. The new 25,000 square foot laboratory facility will increase the company’s production capabilities and provide new R&D space for key products in the rheology additive portfolio, specifically the GARAMITE product line.
Innospec (Innospec Oilfield Services Division) had committed to a lease of the space, and more importantly, to a vacate date at their existing facility. This put pressure on the design team to work as quickly as possible to complete the design effort to allow long-lead mechanical and lab equipment to be ordered in order to support the schedule, as well as give Innospec the state-of-the-art research facility they desired.
When it comes to prescribing the necessary engineering controls and safety features to provide a safe learning environment for our children in the K-12 Educational Science Classroom, we must sift through the over-abundant information available to determine what is, in fact, code and regulatory requirements versus what is anecdotal guidelines.
When considering laboratory purified water, the issue is not having water available, but having the right quality of water available for scientific work.
