American Laundry Systems, a division of E&O Mechanical,
Inc. is a Commercial Laundry/Mechanical
Contracting corporation that caters exclusively to
the entire “Commercial Laundry “industry.
We have built or
retrofitted 44 Plants in the last 12 years. We provide
plant design, layout, mechanical specifications, utility
specifications, equipment recommendations and we do
not represent or distribute for any vendors. We also
provide consulting services and project management.
We do all of our own installations & design work
in
house. We sub-contract to builders, architects or
general contractors only when the need arises (e.g.
dock
work, trenches & pits, offices, bathrooms, etc).
We do not have electricians on our crews due to the
need to use a “Licensed Electrician” in
each state. We
work all over United States & Canada so we use
local electricians (hired by ALS or by the customer
directly).
The electrician & rigger, if hired locally and
paid for by the customer, are still supervised/coordinated
by ALS.
We can provide architectural, civil, structural, &
general contracting services if necessary. We have
skilled
contacts with laundry experience available to us should
our customers require that we handle the complete
project.
Our typical situation goes something like this:
- Visit
the building/land and review for ability to build/retrofit
a laundry plant
-
Review all utility capacities. Gas, city water,
sewer water, electricity, etc.
-
Review structural load of building (if existing).
Some/most buildings may need a steel frame to support
monorail, pipe bridges, etc.
-
Make a preliminary drawing/layout to check for ability
of building/land area to accommodate a “Laundry
Facility” sized to the customers capacities
(e.g. 500,000lbs/week, # shifts, etc.) and provide
the customer with
“BUDGET” figures for all areas of the
“Building Retrofit”.
-
Review & d iscuss any equipment preferences
which the customer may have.
-
Complete layout of building with customers input
typically 4-6 revisions are needed before ALS and
the
customer are completely satisfied.
-
Specify equipment & all utilities. Write RFP’s
(if needed).
-
Provide customer with “Hard Figures”
& time line to build & install “Laundry
Facility”.
-
Issue PO’s & order all materials &
equipment.
-
Begin installation of infrastructure for converting
building to a “Laundry Facility”.
- Organize
rigging, electrical & construction projects.
-
Complete infrastructure installation.
-
Accept New & Used equipment.
-
Install New & Used equipment.
-
Start up & training of customer’s plant
& employees.
Time Line: (typical)
For a start up date of June 2007, we would need to give
you a month for start up & training (May, 2007).
We would need 5-6 months to do the work & retrofit
the building, (est. start date = December 1st or sooner).
We would need to begin drawings & initial layouts,
utility specifications, equipment specifications &
recommendations would need to be done within next 30
days or so. Notice of Confidentiality: The contents

Benefits
American Laundry Systems does NOT charge for its Engineering
services (i.e. layout, design. mechanical specifications,
etc.) if we are awarded the project as described above
. If you prefer to hire your own architect, general
contractor, builder, electrician, or rigger we still
do not charge as long as we are awarded the “Complete
Plant Installation”. If we provide all the services
(described above) as needed and we are not awarded
the “Plant Installation Project” then
we will charge for the design, specifications &
engineering we have provided plus expenses (hotels,
flights, etc.)
American Laundry Systems is a member of all the major
and not so major “Laundry Associations”.
We are well respected in the “Laundry Industry”
and all of our customers, we count as our friends.
Our reputation in this industry is “impeccable”.
We cannot afford to do or be involved in a project
that ends up with an unhappy customer. This industry
is too small for this situation to be allowed to happen.
We guarantee your complete
satisfaction to the best of our ability in the areas
in which we are responsible.
What separates us from other contractors & consultants
in this industry is that we have our own crews for
installation of all of the equipment, supervised by
our own project managers. The customer has only ONE
company to deal with on the building retrofit &
equipment installation areas of the project. If the
customer prefers ALS to handle all aspects, then we
have industry experienced friends to help us with
anything the customer may require.
Myself or one of the ALS sales/engineering team will
visit all our job sites & projects every 2 weeks
or so, regardless of the project manager assigned
to the project. I take a personal interest in each
customers unique situation, concerns, etc. and build
all my plants with the philosophy that this is how
I would like some one to build MY plant if I were
building one.
