Last week, Monoxivent visited Peterson Space Force Base alongside Acco Engineered Systems to collaborate on a specialized ventilation project. The focus of the visit was to demonstrate proper wet lay-up joint installation and safety procedures for the Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) ductwork installed within a designated battery charging area.
Because battery charging environments release corrosive fumes, correct installation techniques are necessary for the long-term performance of the ventilation system. Monoxivent team members Jim Wischhusen, Jon McCoy, and Mitch Michaelis traveled to the base to guide the installation crew through each phase of the process. The hands-on instructional training covered how to effectively plan out a FRP installation to optimize efficiency, how to properly execute reliable wet lay-up joints, and how to do it all in a safe manner. It was a productive session, and the demonstration provided the on-site crew with the practical knowledge needed for a successful installation.
