717 Fifth Avenue
New York city, NY
Project: A 1.6 MW cogeneration plant was installed atop a 13-story section of a 26-story office building in Manhattan. The challenge was that the owners didn't want the plant to be seen or heard.
Product: AT-Panel Solutions (Acoustic Thermal Panel System)
Payoff: FläktGroup SEMCO designed a modular sound-attenuated enclosure to allow the cogeneration plant to blend seamlessly into the high-end Manhatten business district where it would reside. Visually and acoustically the structure met each and every one of the client’s demanding needs, proving that cogeneration plants are a viable solution in even the most discriminating urban areas.

Pepe Luxury Cars
New Rochelle, NY
Project: Exposed ductwork that looked good enough to hang in a high-end Mercedes dealership.
Product: DecoCoat PC™ - Powder Coated Duct System
Payoff: Mike Kelly of ABM Air Conditioning, a long-time customer of FläktGroup SEMCO, provided the decision makers with two samples of DecoCoat PC™, one with the powder coating in Mercedes Silver and the other in typical hand painted style for comparison. It was not even comparable. DecoCoat PC™ had a much cleaner looking surface which the client preferred by a wide margin. According to Mr. Kelley, “The Pepe Automotive Group is very happy with the end result, and I’d recommend SEMCO to anyone. Plus, they stand behind their products with prompt, professional customer service.”
Charnock Well Field
Santa Monica, CA
Project: A massive plant restoration, which included advanced carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, and pressure filtration processes, required a noise abatement plan
Product: AT-Panel Solutions (Acoustic Thermal Panel System)
Payoff: FläktGroup SEMCO customized a total of 20 acoustic enclosures for booster pumps and vertical turbine pumps at the Charnock plant. Each enclosure included an access door for minor servicing. The enclosures also included cut-outs which allowed heat from the pumps to exit and dissipate.
Novartis Manufacturing Facility
Holly Springs, NC
Project: A complex duct job with multiple systems, and duct sizes, and pressure classes – plus all of the certification requirements for welds and materials that are typical of pharmaceutical work.
Product: Custom Air Duct System
Payoff: The initial schedule for the Novartis project, approximately 5 months from start to completion for the ductwork, seemed to be on the edge of physical impossibility. Midway through the project, the onsite material storage area was exhausted, but in order to meet the aggressive schedule, production and shipment had to continue. FläktGroup SEMCO worked to keep material flowing out of the shop and into trailers, while sitting on select loads in order to allow Gamewell Mechanical to get material hung and make way for more. In the end, 96% of the material was shipped in a 4-month period.
