Engineering

Our engineering department is equipped to design and engineer a facility from start to finish with the use of the latest engineering software. Familiar with the codes and regulations for the food industry they have become experts in designing the best possible layouts taking in consideration each individual project’s product flow and ergonomics.

We will consult with clients and government regulators until a mutual satisfying layout can be agreed upon for approval.

Our personal goal is to make a state of the art facility for a competitive budget. This is possible with the right attitude and preparation.

GVN engineered springs

GVN engineered springs create a patent pending spring system which is integrated into the hanging of an insulated ceiling panel from the superstructure (steel, wood or otherwise).

The spring is designed to allow the ceiling panels to move vertically when subject to a force. When two adjacent rooms or air spaces are subject to differing room temperatures, the pressure difference between the rooms will increase with an increase in temperature change. This pressure difference will cause the panels to expand or contract vertically creating a "U" shape panel, which will regularly pull the metal sheets from the insulation hence reducing the lifetime of the panel. The spring allows vertical movement of the panel. Furthermore, the spring system allows the ceiling to be walkable as this is another vertical force which will damage the panel if not for the spring system.

Developments

GVN employees are dedicated to their projects. Our engineers are always aware of new products and developments that in turn help them develop new and useable products and/or uses for our buildings.
