Even in non-pandemic times, Bel-Aire Mechanical leads the way in terms of worker health and safety on the jobsite. It’s no wonder facing the unique jobsite challenges presented by COVID-19 – distributing additional PPE, contact tracing and increased cleaning – came naturally to Bel-Aire’s leadership team and employees.

Robert Dustman, Project Director for Bel-Aire Mechanical, credits the company’s existing commitment to on-the-job safety for the minimal COVID-19 outbreaks they experienced over the past 12+ months.

“As a company we have done such a great job adapting to the new health and safety protocols, even as we deal with different requirements and standards on each unique site,” says Robert.

“We have always set the standard on the jobsite when it comes to safety, and through the pandemic, we continue to see workers and contractors on different projects following Bel-Aire’s lead.”

Throughout this past year, Bel-Aire Mechanical has adapted to the pandemic while still delivering outstanding quality products to owners throughout the state. This is evidenced by the company’s work on the Desert Diamond Casino, the Banner Desert Facility in Mesa, and the Boeing manufacturing facility.

Preparing for a Busy 2021-2022

It is no secret that the construction industry in Arizona is hot right now, and only going to get hotter in the coming months. While continuing to deliver high-quality work to owners during the pandemic, Bel-Aire Mechanical simultaneously planned for this impending increase in workload for the coming year.

Bel-Aire Mechanical’s team anticipated this strong flow of new work early on, and has been planning over the past 12 months how they will accommodate the anticipated need. Company managers believe they are well-prepared for this period due to their continued commitment to long-term employment.

“Our team is proud that Bel-Aire Mechanical maintains a group of anywhere between 200-220 workers at all times,” says Robert.

“Throughout this preparation stage, we have been shifting these workers to different jobsites and promoting internally so we have Bel-Aire employees with tremendous experience on each new jobsite to maintain our high-quality work and craftsmanship, while we bring in new employees to meet the demand.”

Bel-Aire Mechanical adapted to new conditions and prepared throughout the pandemic, and is ready for this new stage of work. As Arizona continues to attract new data centers, casinos, hospitals and manufacturing facilities, Bel-Aire will be a part of building them.
