EMCOR Firm Honored for Mechanical Contracting Excellence

The Associated Builders and Contractors of Connecticut honored EMCOR Services New England Mechanical (NEMSI) with a first place Mechanical Award for its work on "The Renaissance," a new high-rise residential building in Shelton, CT. The award was presented at the ABC annual dinner as part of the organization's 2009 Excellence in Construction program, which recognizes the best construction projects in the state of Connecticut. NEMSI was responsible for the design and installation of the complex HVAC systems for The Renaissance, a 16-story rental apartment/condo project. According to Dana Finnegan, president of NEMSI, the original plan called for 168 residential units, but the developer changed the plan — from all apartments to a combination of apartments and high-end condominiums — after the building's shell and much of the infrastructure were already in place.
