Lucky Sevens: GML Mechanical Commences 77th Project Using Aquatherm

Contractors are a loyal group. When they find a product that works well, they stick with it. That has been the case at GML Mechanical Ltd., Delta, BC, which recently commenced its 77th project using Aquatherm.

GML Mechanical is a mid-size, full-service mechanical contractor that has been operating in British Columbia since 1989. The company began operations as GML Mechanical in 2002 after carrying on business for the preceding 13 years as Globe Mechanical Ltd.

GML Mechanical employs several dozen journeymen/apprentice plumbers and gas fitters, and several of its foremen have been on staff since the inception of the company. The company’s completed projects include warehouses, office buildings, high-rise residential/retail complexes, laboratories, dormitories, sports complexes, automobile dealerships, process piping, and shopping centers. GML Mechanical attributes its success to quality workmanship, project management leadership and cooperation, and timely response.

Also key to the company’s ongoing success is its willingness to take the lead with new technologies and better ways of doing things. That spirit led it to become one of the first adopters of Aquatherm pipe when the product entered the North American market. GML Mechanical has now been using Aquatherm for nearly a decade.
