Hear it for yourself
“Partnering with McCownGordon on our biofuel expansion project has been a game-changer. During preconstruction, they introduced the latest laser scanning technology, providing us with an accurate picture of the existing facility down to the millimeter. This approach, which also incorporated 3D photography, significantly enhanced our existing facility’s documentation, and helped us visualize how the new equipment fit into the space. Their proactive planning and innovative ideas saved us an incredible amount of time. McCownGordon streamlined the design process, resulting in substantial time and cost savings. We couldn’t be happier with the results!” – Matt Greeno, Corp. Director of Engineering, MGP
