Integrated Technologies, Inc. (ITI) designs and builds surface finishing process lines, as well as complete process plants. Normally our clients contract separately for the construction of the building and appurtenances (mechanical, electrical, HVAC, etc.). ITI then works with our clients to develop the plant design with consideration of the overall work flow, secondary containment, building structure, plant ventilation, and corrosion management, and utility routing. Ideally the plant is designed and built around the process equipment (the plant serves the process); however, the norm is to design and build process equipment within an existing plant. We work carefully to optimize the design with consideration of plant constraints.
ITI has experience with almost all surface finishing processes.
- We have designed or design-built numerous Electroplating Process Lines, including (but not limited to):
