Without them, a plant cannot start or function. And while they aren’t a product, plant utilities do contribute to the price of whatever product is produced. At IDI, we keep both those aspects in mind with each job we complete—for more than 20 years we have helped clients enhance plant productivity while driving operating costs down.

Projects that illustrate our wide range of capabilities include: the conversion of depleted uranium oxide into depleted uranyl nitrate, a project that included cooling water, water, air, industrial ventilation, life safety, electrical and controls, and the design of a steam system; and a direct dry chopped strand and packaging project that was comprised of HVAC piping, air, and natural gas. At IDI, we meet every challenge with innovation, and we’re ready to innovate for you.
