Navigating Land Development: Start to Finish

As a developer with a vision, there is quite a lot to consider when trying to make your project a reality. Whether it be land closing, planning, entitlements, design, permitting, financing, or construction; each aspect of the development process is equally important for a successful ribbon cutting that is on schedule and under budget. Navigating each step can tricky and problems discovered too late have the potential to set you back and undermine your investment. Engaging an expert who thinks like a developer early in the process is critical to your success. That is why Wenck’s land development engineers should be the first consultants you call to help you achieve your development goals.

HVAC Hygiene Must-Haves for Food Plants

One of the most important aspects of a Ready to Eat (RTE) food facility is cleanliness. Product handling procedures, methodical consistent clean up, and good construction details are of tremendous value in avoiding any type of infestation or product contamination. In addition, any Balance of Plant (BOP) system that may have food contact, or the ability to spread bacteria, mold, moisture or product fines etc. requires attention from the engineers and designers of the facility. One of the primary BOP systems that demands thoughtful design is the HVAC systems. Airborne particles of food, spores, bacteria, yeast, etc. can initiate or spread contamination quickly. The Air Handling Systems themselves can also be a place where bacteria can grow and be spread in the internals of the Air Handling Units (AHU) and ductwork.
