Our portfolio

An EOF Radioactive Items Custodian inventories pyrophoric uranium in an inert storage system designed and built by EOF.
EOF services and maintains glove boxes acrosss the Lab. They monitor statuses , perform preventive maintenance, and repair or replace worn components with minimal downtime.
EOF staff conducted troubleshooting and repair of germanium detectors in the Gammasphere detector array at ATLAS. EOF now supports the engineering staff in the development of next-generation preamplifier electronics for the Gammasphere detectors.
When a furnace was not operating properly, EOF technicians determined that its conductor hoses had failed. After they identified the problem, they were able to specify, order, and install replacement parts.
By limiting the maximum amperage draw of the Applied Materials Battery Testing Project, EOF was able to propose and install a design that cost significantly less than originally anticipated.

Electromechanical Support and Compliance

Our technical support staff has over 400 combined years of experience at Argonne working with a wide variety of experimental equipment. EOF engineers and technicians include Qualified Electrical Workers (QEWs), Radiological Workers, Designated Electrical Equipment Inspectors, electrical SMEs with diverse experience supporting the laboratories experimental work. We frequently help relocate experimental equipment, including installation of tubing, gas cylinders, regulators and Unistrut supports. We have staff available to help assist your program with electro-mechanical needs. We also have numerous Radioactive Item Custodians and are often the Facility Inventory Managers. We are versed in the Laboratories’ requirements for chemical storage and satellite accumulation areas. Working with Waste Management for years allows us to minimize costs.

We offer flexible staffing and welcome both short- and long-term engagements. To learn more about our services, contact Tony Fracaro via email or at 630-252-1645.
