St. Louis has long been a hub in research and development in the agriculture, chemical, healthcare and bio science industries. IBEW/NECA's work in this sector has earned honors 10 times in the AGC Construction Keystone Awards.
IBEW/NECA has served these industries with distinction and exported their talents to serve R&D industries in other cities. Our clients span Monsanto, Pfizer, the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and Millipore Sigma, Brewer Science, research facilities for Washington University, Saint Louis University and the University of Missouri system and even the birthplace of the Manhattan Project, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

On all R&D projects, IBEW/NECA works very closely with the owner, engineer, designer and general contractor to review constructability issues early in the planning process. Our goal is to identify and eliminate any conflicts that might impact the schedule and budget.
