Industrial, Fixture/Equipment Anchorage, & Specialty Projects / by Brad Young

BYA has a strong core of industrial, fixture/equipment anchorage, and specialty project clients.  BYA supports our clients by designing and detailing a wide range of solutions for their operations.

“Industrial and specialty project work is interesting because each project is so different and oftentimes unconventional.  Fixture and equipment anchorage projects are interesting because we have to develop a solution, or a set of solutions that are very cost-effective, easily constructed, flexible and can be built hundreds of times all throughout the country.”

–Brad Young
