Industrial facilities can improve efficiency, sustainability, productivity and compliance by replacing steam-based hot water generation with direct, right-sized hot water systems while retaining steam where it remains necessary.
Steam built the industrial age, but it doesn’t have to run it any longer. In fact, in many cases, it shouldn’t.
Approved for use in medical gas systems, the corrugated copper tubing performs just like rigid copper but installs in a fraction of the time while increasing site safety.
Although corrugated medical tubing (CMT) is often perceived as a relatively recent solution for medical gas systems, it has been proven in the field across industries for more than 20 years.
This mission-critical infrastructure requires coordinated control of heat load, airflow, humidity, cleanliness, redundancy and energy efficiency to keep increasingly dense digital systems reliable and scalable.
As digital infrastructure becomes more powerful, more compact and more essential to everyday business operations, data center cooling has become one of the most important disciplines in facility engineering.
Cooling towers are highly efficient heat rejection systems; however, they can consume a lot of water. Pairing cooling towers with heat recovery, geothermal systems and integrated building planning can reduce energy, save water, and turn waste heat into a valuable resource.
Cooling towers play a critical role in heat rejection for power generation, industrial and lab process cooling, data centers and, more commonly, in HVAC cooling systems.
Sized above code and built with redundancy, Fuse at Mason Square shows how plumbing systems can prepare buildings for a wetter, less predictable climate future.
For most plumbing engineers, designing water systems means designing to code.
Double check valve assemblies, detector check valves and reduced-pressure zone assemblies protect potable water systems from backflow, especially in fire protection and high-hazard applications.
Last month, in Part 2 of this series, we covered air gaps, air breaks, atmospheric vacuum breakers, hose thread applied vacuum breakers and pressure vacuum breakers.
Congratulations to Coleton Haggin on receiving the Thomas J. Wanner Memorial Scholarship at MCAA26 during the Awards of Excellence Breakfast this past spring in Phoenix.
Suppression systems, such as preaction, water mist, and clean agent (gaseous) systems, offer several distinct advantages and limitations in data centers.
While data center fires remain relatively rare, fire-related outages can be costly. According to the 2025 Uptime Institute Report, 54% of respondents noted their most recent significant data center outage cost more than $100,000.
