One factor is choosing the right lab consultant that has both the experience and resources to pull your project together from planning and conception stages to the selection & installation of laboratory furniture and equipment.

One way Longo’s laboratory consultants assist clients is with our experience regarding the time frames required for a laboratory construction to be completed before school opening in the Fall, or to renovate during the Winter break and be ready for when students arrive back…

WaterSaver ColorTech Brochure: ColorTech Catalog

ColorTech fixtures are furnished with a powder coated finish to enhance the appearance of the fitting and to protect against corrosion. Unlike competing brands, ColorTech fixtures may be ordered in any one of five standard finish colors. This range of colors assures that the lab fittings will enhance the design scheme and aesthetics of the lab environment.

The coating materials used for ColorTech finishes are specially formulated for use on these products. In general, coating materials are blends of epoxy and polyurethane powders. These hybrid blends assure that the finished coating will have an optimum combination of chemical resistance, mar and abrasion resistance, and resistance to fading under ultraviolet (UV) light.

Nat Longo comments on an upcoming science lab renovation that is to be started where he happens to find asbestos wrapping of plumbing pipes after checking underneath the flooring…very common in labs built in the 1950s through the 1960s. So, while on this project the crawlspace provides Nat with an opportunity to avoid having to saw-cut through concrete, he will have to be dealing with the abatement of asbestos.
