Englert, Perth Amboy NJ

Since 1966, Englert Inc. has been the gold standard for commercial and residential metal roofing and gutter systems, as well as on-site roll-forming machines. The company prides itself for being on the cutting edge, and they boast the largest selection of Energy Star approved materials and coatings in the nation. At their 50,000 square foot headquarters in Perth Amboy, NJ, Englert performs most of their manufacturing processes necessary for creating the variety of products they sell. This project involved the installation of a new industrial paint line machine capable of shaping and painting large amounts of sheet metal. The building was retrofitted with a hydrogen incinerator for capturing and burning harmful gases.

Location: 1200 Amboy Avenue, Perth Amboy, New Jersey 08861

Challenges: The existing facility had to be evaluated for code compliance with regards to storing paint, sprinkler and fire alarm coverage and waste water disposal. The existing electrical service for the building was maxed out and the facility wanted to increase their electrical capacity without any down time.

Achievements: To anticipate the future growth of the facility, a new high voltage 2000A transformer was designed to bring a second service into the building. This second service eventually tied into the existing loads, but the facility could not shut down for any period of time. Accordingly, the existing service remained intact to allow for continuous power supply to the building throughout construction. The existing sprinkler systems were carefully coordinated and redistributed to accommodate the various hazardous uses of the building.
