Plumbing Repairs, Phoenix Rearing Facility

The Phoenix Rearing Facility (PRF) focuses on the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). The facility collaborates with farmers to decrease the number of insects that damage crops by using SIT. The PRF is part of a larger pest control project aimed at reducing the impact of navel orange worms on American agriculture.

Constructed around 1973, the 69,000 square-foot, one-story building includes office areas, employee break areas, laboratories, process rooms, environmental rooms and chambers, warehouse, maintenance, and utility areas. The building was renovated for its current use in 1994.

Plumbing issues include:

• A backed‑up sink in the south men’s restroom

• Frequent urinal backups in the north men’s restroom

• Recurring clogs in maintenance shop sink, mechanical room, outdoor drains, and vents

• Persistent odors in the QC clean lab sink area

These deficiencies require plumbing system repairs and replacements described in the construction documents.
