Mechanical Construction Project Highlight - Sports of the World

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 19:02:23 GMT

Large-Scale Mechanical and Plumbing Installation Conducted by Central Consolidated's Mechanical Construction Division

The O’Brate Field House in Garden City, Kansas, is equipped with a commercial mechanical system designed to support large indoor sports spaces. Multiple rooftop HVAC units provide heating, cooling, and ventilation to the courts, turf areas, conference rooms, and offices, ensuring excellent air quality during high-occupancy events. The facility’s plumbing system supports heavy daily use with distributed potable water, large restroom groups, locker-room showers, and service lines for the kitchen and concession areas. Sanitary drainage routes wastewater to the city sewer, while floor drains, mop sinks, and hose bibbs throughout the facility make cleaning and maintenance efficient and safe.

This project provided our field crew with hands-on experience in large-scale mechanical and plumbing installation. Working in a fast-paced sports-center environment helped strengthen coordination, problem-solving, and communication skills while adapting to design changes and tight deadlines. Newer technicians had the opportunity to learn alongside experienced team members, building confidence with commercial systems and refining their craftsmanship.

Central is proud to have contributed to this project, supporting a facility that will benefit athletes, staff, and the community for years to come.

Tyler’s journey in the trades started early. At just 12 years old, he spent his summers and school breaks helping his grandpa Rick at American Mechanical, sweeping floors and organizing fittings. When he turned 18, he officially entered the mechanical trade and spent the next 12 years as a service technician before moving into the office to take on his current role at Central.

Outside of work, Tyler enjoys playing golf (though he admits he’s still perfecting his swing). Around the office, his coworkers describe him as: "Dependable, hardworking, and always willing to lend a hand. Even on short notice, Tyler consistently goes above and beyond expectations and is an outstanding member of our team."

We thank Tyler for his dedication and commitment to helping Central deliver smart solutions. We are so grateful to have him as part of the team!

Ella Nash - Accounting Clerk - AR Team

We’re excited to highlight Ella Nash as Central Consolidated’s featured employee this month!

Ella joined Central Consolidated in April 2023 as part of our AR team. Before coming to Central, she built a wide range of experience in different industries. Some of her favorite roles include working in the Payroll and HR department at Mobile Addiction LLC for five years, serving as a Personal Banker at Heartland Credit Union for three years, and managing Express for two years (a role she especially loved because of the clothes). Outside of work, Ella enjoys playing video games and writing, especially in the spooky and mystery genres. Although she admits she’s too shy to share her writing publicly, she loves getting lost in the process. One of her favorite quotes is from Queen Elizabeth II: “It’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.”

What Ella's colleagues say about her: "She is the most pleasant person and genuinely cares about everyone she encounters. She talks to each person that comes to get coffee or passes by on their way to the shop. She is helpful and always has a positive attitude."

Client Testimonial from Derek Hanson - JLL/Pfizer

A huge shoutout to Wade Gilbertson, our Fire Protection Team, and our Fab Shop Team for going above and beyond for our partner at Pfizer!!

Partnerships like this are what Central is all about. We’re honored to be trusted in moments that matter.

Full testimonial:

"It is with tremendous pride and respect that I am reaching out to you and the rest of the amazing Central Consolidated Team to say that you all have once again come through for me in my time of need.

After finding myself in quite an unfortunate situation with another vendor and expectations on my team increasing on an urgent repair, I reached out to the man, the myth, the Legend, Wade Gilbertson in the hopes that he would be able to provide the necessary and critical support needed to overcome the challenge.

Not only did he offer his immediate and unwavering support, offered up the services of the Central Fab Shop, cleared a path for urgent attention AND delivery of the materials once ready, he personally delivered the necessary fittings not once, but TWICE after we learned that our situation unexpectedly changed and further attention/hardware was required to finish the job.

In addition, it was serendipitous that the Central team was onsite during this period working with another vendor to Pfizer, and just happened to have 2 technicians coming to the site to address concerns for the other vendor. As soon as they fulfilled their obligations to the other vendor, they immediately came over to assess the situation and identify how they could be most effective/helpful. Those 2 technicians are a perfect example of what I believe Central Consolidated offers, and I want to go on record as saying that they are exceptional and talented individuals that I am eternally grateful for, as well. Their professionalism, positive attitudes, and safety-minded perspectives go a very long ways in our environment, and should be recognized some way.

I’ve seen somewhere a few times on updates I follow on social media, probably LinkedIn, a reference to Central’s “Technician Of The Month”, and I can’t possibly think of 2 more deserving colleagues representing Central Consolidated. I’ve attached a photo they were both kind enough to be seen in with me for reference ��

Please ensure that all of these individuals are appreciated in some way as they have absolutely, unequivocally reminded me of one of the most effective partnerships I’ve had in my life and career.

I am in awe of this level of support and I have dearly missed it since our last opportunity to work together. Wade and I have reaffirmed our commitment to moving forward together and I will be providing the necessary information next week for Central Consolidated to take over Fire Protection services for JLL at Pfizer.

THANK YOU CENTRAL CONSOLIDATED!!!"
