Rich & Gardner Partners with UPSCO Inc. for Their Latest Expansion

Rich & Gardner’s latest project represents a renewed partnership, as they were asked to complete the expansion of the existing UPSCO facility in Moravia, New York– a building they had constructed years prior. With their unparalleled construction expertise, Rich & Gardner was eager to give the facility a new dimension and bring their client’s vision to life.

UPSCO Inc. is a highly respected company in the natural gas industry, known for delivering innovative solutions and exceptional service to its clients. The upcoming renovations to their facility promise to take their operations to the next level, increasing efficiency and sophistication. In this blog post, we will explore the exciting collaboration between Rich & Gardner and UPSCO and what it means for the future of the natural gas industry.

UPSCO Project Overview

The UPSCO project, a joint venture between UPSCO Inc. and Rich & Gardner, involves an 18,750-square-foot addition to the existing UPSCO building at 67 Central Street in Moravia. The project is focused on the installation of a new paint booth, which will serve as a critical component of UPSCO’s natural gas infrastructure operations. It will increase their efficiency and allow them to serve their clients with greater precision and speed.

Rich & Gardner’s involvement in this project is significant, as they were the original builders of the UPSCO building in 2008. Their experience with the facility and expertise in construction made them the ideal choice for the addition. The project was initially proposed in February 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, they were able to begin the project in 2022 and recently completed the project in March 2023.

The project location, in Moravia, New York, is the headquarters of UPSCO, making this renovation an essential component of their continued growth and success. Rich & Gardner was honored to be a part of this exciting project and to have brought their construction expertise to the table.
