Project Overview
Clegg Industries successfully completed a comprehensive turnaround and structural retrofit of a mobile monitoring laboratory vehicle for Harris County Pollution Control Services. The project transformed an existing platform into a highly optimized, safe, and efficient mobile command and laboratory environment tailored for advanced air quality tracking.
Key Remodel Highlights
Structural & Exterior Upgrades: * Removed all existing side windows, structural retrofitting with continuous aluminum sheeting, and added vertical ribs on 16-inch centers to house upgraded insulation.
Replaced the rear emergency door and old windows with solid, insulated, sound-dampening panels built to withstand over-the-road travel.
Installed a custom bulkhead-isolated, exterior-access compressed gas cylinder cabinet capable of safely holding three A150 cylinders with interior-controlled stainless steel purge systems.
Fabricated a custom, soundproofed rear generator compartment featuring a heavy-duty sliding service tray to house a high-capacity 12 kW diesel generator.
Integrated a 2,000 CFM dual-sided ventilation system and high-performance soundproofing to maintain main cabin noise levels well below 65 dBA.
Upgraded the shore power inlet and converted the entire vehicle electrical footprint from a 15-amp system to a fully compliant, robust 20-amp configuration.
Routed multiple dedicated delivery circuits to handle hardwired air conditioning, primary laboratory instrumentation, and dedicated UPS battery-backup systems.
Lined the cabin interior with durable plywood and finished with professional gray/black wall carpet.
Built a custom stainless steel workbench (300 lb. capacity) featuring integrated cable management, vibration-isolated under-desk laptop mounts, and dual VESA wall-mount monitor configurations.
Installed customized floor-to-ceiling cabinetry featuring heavy-duty drawer glides and secure positive-locking latches for transit.
Integrated space-saving overhead storage compartments in the over-cab area for crew personal gear.
Mounted a standardized 19-inch electronics equipment rack using specialized vibration isolators to protect critical analysis instruments.
Incorporated critical environmental safety systems, including digital continuous-read Oxygen and Carbon Monoxide sensors with configurable alarms.
Strategically installed recessed 1,000 lb. capacity tie-down points across the cargo floor and engineered custom rear storage bays to securely organize specialized field gear, including a 22-foot articulating ladder, infrared cameras, and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) drone.
