Crane/Eldec Hot Testing Facility

The Crane Aerospace & Electronics facility in Lynnwood is one of our area’s more established aerospace suppliers. Auburn was the mechanical contractor on their new 12,000 square foot building to develop and test the fuel flow meters used to measure the amount of fuel an aircraft’s jet engines use. These fuel flow meters are part of the LEAP-X engines that will power the Boeing 737 MAX jets. This industrial facility had several unique components that made up the mechanical scope of work, such as a Cryogenic Chiller that was capable of cooling to -87 degrees, stainless steel jet-fuel piping capable of delivering fuel at 325 degrees, and underground, welded containment piping. This project took a high degree of care due to the unique equipment and systems, aggressive schedule, and design challenges.

Romac Industries Retrofit

Auburn was the full-mechanical contractor for the retrofit, and work was done throughout the facility with an emphasis on office space and the industrial rubber manufacturing room. The rubber manufacturing room included open facing ductwork, so the room required master craftsmanship and an aesthetically pleasing installation. Plumbing was also updated throughout the building for bathrooms and other water services.
