“We’re thrilled to be adding to our Southern Minnesota footprint in the growing city of Kasson,” said Brian Harren, Egan Company Vice President of Electrical Engineering. “Kasson’s location provides an ideal hub for our expansion. Many of Egan’s current team members call Kasson and the surrounding communities home, bringing a deep understanding and knowledge of the area to Egan. As Egan grows, we’re looking forward to creating new job opportunities for the area.”

The facility will prefabricate various electrical components, assemblies, and systems that are utilized in many Egan projects throughout the Midwest. Egan has additional offices in Champlin and Rochester, Minn., and a new location in Cary, N.C.

What is the Purpose of an RPZ Valve?

Friday, April 19th, 2024

Sometimes, the smallest piece of equipment can make all the difference in the quality and safety of your facility. The water supply in commercial buildings is often protected by a reduced pressure zone (RPZ) valve, set up to prevent backflow of contaminated water into your clean, potable water. By installing an RPZ valve in your plumbing system, you can rest assured that you will have accessible clean water 24/7. 

ENSURING SAFE WATER SUPPLY

The primary purpose of an RPZ valve is to prevent the backflow of contaminated water into your potable water supply. Throughout plumbing and sewage systems, certain amounts of pressure are required to maintain proper flow of water. If pressure drops, non-potable water that contains various chemicals or other contaminants can potentially pass through back into clean water supplies. By creating a physical barrier between potable water and possible contaminants, you can keep your employees, guests, and your facility safe. 

IS YOUR PLUMBING SYSTEM IN COMPLIANCE?

RPZ valves and other safeguards  are becoming required more and more throughout cities, counties, and states, to help ensure the health and safety of anyone using water in your facility. Installation of RPZ valves is necessary, as is regular maintenance. 

Egan Company’s team of plumbing service professionals can visit your facility and install the right equipment and conduct regular annual maintenance on your RPZ valves. We can check that your backflow stoppage is working properly and your RPZ valves are well-maintained. In doing so, you’ll maintain compliance with the State of Minnesota, and you’ll find peace of mind that your potable water supply is safe. Remember, it is always better to schedule preventive maintenance rather than emergency service, but no matter which you need for your commercial and industrial plumbing, Egan Company can help.

Community Building in Action

Tuesday, April 9th, 2024

Approximately 1 in 4 Minnesotans are housing cost burdened, spending more than 30% of their income on housing. Organizations such as Habitat for Humanity actively work to reduce housing disparities and support low-income families find housing throughout the Twin Cities and the United States. 

Recently, Egan Company employees put their hard hats on for a good cause, helping build a duplex home for local families in St. Paul. The work included installing flooring and siding, painting, and filling in nail holes. 

Egan regularly volunteers our time and skills by partnering with local organizations such as Habitat for Humanity to help make a positive impact on the communities where we live and work. 

“I often look for ways to give back,” said Paul Hackbarth, Egan Company Electrician. “I can give back through opportunities like Habitat for Humanity. I have been blessed, so now I can be a blessing to others.”
