Client: National Institutes of Health
Project: Hvac System Retrofit
Industry: Research Labs
"As you are aware, a crises ensued at Building 41 last Tuesday when NIH shut down the high-pressure steam system in the penthouse to relieve the pressure in the condensate return system so that you could install the isolation valve on the condensate return at AC-2. When we attempted to re-open the high-pressure steam isolation valve, the gate failed to lift, leaving us without high-pressure steam for the autoclaves and cage wash in the building. The loss of steam to this lab equipment would have had a great impact on the research being performed in the building. The R.M. Thornton crew, as usual, did an extremely professional job, coordinated closely with the NIH staff, and worked to ensure that the job was performed as quickly as possible to minimize the impact on the building occupants. It is always great fun to watch a crew who know exactly what they are doing take on a task and get the job done with the highest quality."

"I am writing to express my appreciation to R.M. Thornton for the excellent work that is being accomplished installing the fire suppression sprinklers at Sibley Memorial Hospital. Your employees have done an outstanding job installing this system in an occupied hospital. Most recently, we have just completed the installation of the sprinklers on our 5-West clinical unit. The project was extremely well thought out and accomplished during a seven-day period. We consider ourselves most fortunate to work with a company of R.M. Thornton's caliber. Nearly all of your projects are accomplished on time and within budget. Your employees are courteous and mindful of the environment in which they operate."
