For almost three decades, DSI has created forward-thinking, efficient environments for the higher education market. Projects have included university and college academic buildings, professional schools (veterinary and medical), libraries, laboratories and operations facilities.

DSI’s scope includes HVAC, mechanical, sheet metal, plumbing and equipment start-up, in many cases without impacting or disrupting ongoing classes. Some of these have achieved a LEED-Gold rating.

Managing successful healthcare projects is a complex process, requiring managers and teams with proven experience and detailed knowledge of specialized design and construction principles. DSI offers comprehensive resources and industry expertise to meet a full range of healthcare needs.

We have completed more than $1 billion in healthcare projects, ranging from new medical centers and research facilities to building renovations. These include ambulatory and specialty care centers, (clean room and BSL standards), blood and chemistry labs and medical office buildings. We bring specialization in:

• Medical gas systems
• Surgical environments
• Imaging facilities
• Critical system infrastructure

Installed by skilled technical staff, these systems are delivered precisely commissioned to assure flawless operation. We are proud to contribute to the healthcare industry and to know the projects we’ve completed will serve patients and families for years to come.

DSI has worked on award-winning hospitality projects, offering customized preconstruction and construction services to our clients. Whether a new flagship hotel, casino or water park, we will prove the best value for your project. Plus, deliver exceptional quality.

Laboratory infrastructure relies heavily on extensive mechanical HVAC and plumbing systems, contain fume hoods, toxic and hazardous chemicals, cleanrooms, waste neutralization, lab gases and ultrapure water. Integrating these systems relies heavily on fully coordinating the BIM model. We have significant 3D design capabilities that allow us to develop a fully coordinated facility.

Considerations for safety include toxic and flammable chemicals. We deliver high-quality installations, fully understanding the safety of the lab technicians is paramount.

Large energy consuming outside and exhaust air systems are required to properly ventilate the spaces. We emphasize design solutions for energy reclamation to reduce this consumption. Ventilation rates can also be optimized through monitoring of airborne contaminants. Collaboration with contaminant monitoring systems that interface with the HVAC controls can further reduce energy consumption.

Biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities are extremely complex and exacting. Our team has extensive experience in the fabrication and installation of hygienic piping systems and process equipment for FDA- regulated facilities. Additionally, we provide accurate QA/QC documentation for project turnover packages assuring complete compliance for your IQ and OQ protocols.

To meet the challenges of these rigorous standards, we take a collaborative team approach that involves professionals from each discipline in every stage of the project. This approach enables us to closely manage the complete project scope from preconstruction planning and design to restoration and turnover.

The microelectronic industry is a significant component of our diverse construction experience. Much of our history is based on the construction of these exacting facilities. DSI has been extremely successful on these projects that require on-time delivery at a relentless pace and an exceptional quality level.

The systems we commonly install in microelectronic facilities include:

• Toxic gas delivery
• Scrubbed acid exhaust
• Ultrapure DI water
• Cleanroom HVAC
• Acid neutralization facilities
• Process cooling water
• Solvent waste systems
• Bulk gas delivery
• Bulk chemical delivery
• Cryogenic gas delivery

The focus of Mission Critical Facilities design and construction is protecting and sustaining clients’ vital intellectual property and sustaining operations. DSI’s quality and reliability deliver the functionality to ensure uninterrupted 24/7 operation. High quality and timely construction are requirements – not goals.

The virtually constant high-cooling loads in these facilities present energy-saving opportunities we adeptly use to your advantage. Large thermal storage tanks allow chilled water production during off peak hours. Lower energy costs during these hours save cost and create efficiency in power plant operations.

Chiller optimization control solutions determine the best operating conditions after assessing operation variables. The most efficiently tuned chiller plants benefit from a complete understanding of these variables during commissioning.
