IPS has considerable experience working in a 3D/BIM (Building Information Modeling) design and construction environment. We utilize the latest BIM software and technology to design, create fabrication deliverables, and assist in our field installation.  These models can be created from scratch internally or we will upgrade an engineer’s conceptual model up to LOD 400.

A large part of our process is incorporating our 3D laser scanner to verify the accuracy of the design model, existing conditions, and to ensure we install per the model. The individual scans taken on site are registered and tied together to create a complete one-to-one scale point cloud.  From this point cloud, the customer and our team have the ability to take measurements, view existing site conditions, check interferences, 3D model new proposed work around these interferences, and much more. Our scanner measures 500k points per second within a 1/16″ accuracy up to 400 feet from the scanner. These two photos above, show the BIM model (left) and the actual piping installation photo for the customer (right).  We perform 3D scanning for internal use as well as a standalone service to be handed over directly to the customer or engineer.

IPS Expands Capabilities with New 10,000 Square-Foot Pre-Engineered Building

[Rossford, Ohio] – [9/25/2024] – As a local leader in the construction industry, IPS is excited to announce the construction of a new 10,000 square foot service and electrical fabrication building across the street from its headquarters on Dixie Highway. This significant expansion will further support the company’s expanding operations by providing a dedicated space for its growing 24/7 service division. IPS first relocated to Rossford in 2009 by purchasing the fabrication shop at 129 Dixie Highway and shortly after, in 2016, IPS acquired the long-vacant building that now serves as our headquarters at 146 Dixie Highway. They undertook an 18-month renovation of the historic Ford Club building, originally constructed in 1917.

Founded in 1985 by Kevin Gray, IPS is an industrial, general, specialty, and Engineer-Procure-Construct (EPC) contractor serving its clients throughout the country and internationally. Setting IPS apart from the rest of the industry is its ability to self-perform all facets of construction. With general trades, mechanical, electrical, service, and in-house fabrication capabilities, IPS is equipped to handle any size project – from several hundred dollars to multimillion-dollar ventures. IPS’s full range of capabilities allows it to deliver a project from concept to completion and beyond. 

Strategically located in front of the company’s 100,000 square foot fabrication shop located at 129 Dixie Highway, the new building is designed to expand operational capabilities and better position IPS to serve its clients and partners.  “We are thrilled to embark on this expansion project, which underscores our commitment to growth and operational excellence while continuing our investment in Northwest Ohio,” said company President Jeremiah Johnson. “This new facility will not only provide us the ability to grow operational capabilities but also support our commitment to delivering industry-leading construction solutions.”

Construction is scheduled to begin late September 2024 and is expected to be completed in early 2025. For more information about IPS, please visit www.IPScontractor.com or contact Rob Enos, Vice President of Business Development (info@IPScontractor.com).

So what does it mean to be apprentice? An apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, while individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally-recognized credential. Apprenticeship programs provide critical talent pipeline that can help to address our nation’s pressing workforce challenges such as rebuilding our country’s infrastructure.

These programs have become more than just a training avenue; they are a strategic imperative for businesses aiming to meet government requirements and cultivate a skilled workforce. With evolving industry standards and the demand for specialized skills on the rise, apprenticeships serve as a vital bridge between education and the labor workforce. A list of trades that IPS is signatory to are shown on our website here.
