NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, June 2, 2010 - EMCOR Group, Inc.

Heritage Mechanical Services will be the prime contractor for this project.

The replacement pumps will be high horsepower, high voltage submersible pumps, each capable of pumping 33,000 gallons per minute.

 

"We always say that 'EMCOR touches millions of lives every day', but a project like this for New York's LaGuardia Airport really brings that statement to life and into focus, commented Jeff Porrello, President and CEO of Heritage Mechanical. "I believe we can all appreciate the importance of water removal from an airport area during times of heavy downpour from a safety and an on-time departure standpoint. Heritage is very pleased to have been chosen to work on such a critical project.
