Cryoport Systems

HOUSTON, TX

In May of 2021, Cryoport Systems began expanding its operations in Houston, Texas. With the business growing exponentially, the company needed additional space to help with its temperature-controlled global supply chain solutions for the life sciences market.

Over four months, Brandt performed the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations in the 21,000-square-foot facility. Approaching the project with a holistic approach enabled our crews to work toward their goal of achieving the highest-quality installations.

Mechanical

Brandt installed the rooftop units, split systems, VRF systems, associated piping, and HVAC ductwork. Our mechanical team had the opportunity to demonstrate Brandt’s efficient, top-notch installation methods within a narrow time frame.

Electrical

  • 625 KVA Diesel Generator with a NEMA 3R sound attenuation enclosure and transfer switch
  • Complete power distribution and branch circuiting system
  • Complete lighting package with controls and inverter
  • All emergency and exit lighting
