There are times when many of the building trades seem like modern equivalents of the guild system of the Middle Ages. Which is to say that each individual trade is actually a highly-specialized field of endeavor with its own secret knowledge and ways of doing things. This is particularly so in the case of the mechanical contractors. Unlike the electricians and plumbers, whose functions are generally well-known, many people have never even heard of a mechanical contractor. If forced to take a guess, they might hazard the idea that is is someone responsible for oil changes and tire repairs.
Yet mechanical contractors are among the most highly-skilled and important workers on any jobsite. They are responsible for the installation and maintenance of the various life support functions such as the heating and air conditioning plants, as well as for the many site-specific ventilation systems that are such a critical part of any modern industrial plant.
Particularly when it comes to construction services for the high tech industry, mechanical contractors are also responsible for what is known as process piping inside the plant in addition to their other responsibilities. Process piping is generally a delivery system for either liquid or high pressure gas components onto the production floor of the plant. These are normally substances that are extremely dangerous to use except under the most carefully controlled conditions. There is no alternative to getting the process piping done correctly, and it is a tremendous mark of confidence in the abilities of any mechanical contractor to be selected for the honor of doing such exacting work.
