"We Make It Happen"
NOTABLE PROJECTS On occasion, CMD has been chosen to build many one-of-a-kind projects. Most of these have been for the US Government, the US Military and Military Defense Contractors. Due to the confidentiality of these projects, the details can’t be discussed. But here are a couple of note worthy projects.
IBM. Almaden Research Center, San Jose, CA In 1995, IBM scientist Don Eigler manipulated individual atoms with the worlds most powerful scanning, tunneling microscope, to spell the letters "IBM". He also discovered the Quantum Mirage Effect that may eventually revolutionize the semiconductor industry. This was done in a sound proof and vibration free chamber constructed by CMD.	Toyota Racing Development, Santa Ana, CA & Honda Racing, San Fernando, CA To facilitate the design, construction and testing of the latest in engine technology for their Indy racing cars, CMD was chosen to build explosion and sound proof engine test cells inside the main facility. The air handling requirements for these indoor test cells are much greater than any clean room specifications. Engine Test Cell Honda Testing Engine on Test Stand	GTE, Long Beach, CA A unique challenge presented itself to GTE when upgrading their telephone switching facility in downtown Long Beach. CMD met this challenge by installing a double wall soundproof enclosure for their dual, backup generators. This allowed 24/7 redundancies for their facility without exceeding the strict noise level requirements during full power operation of the generators. Alameda Water District, Freemont, CA CMD supplied and installed the backup generator and soundproof enclosure at this facility. This doesn’t sound too challenging except that the generator was located inside an office building. The picture is of the generator and soundproof enclosure during the noise level validation and certification testing. Subsequently, this structure was dismantled and rebuilt inside the facility.
