About Us
UA Local 13, Plumbers and Pipefitters was chartered in
1890. For over 115 years we've been protecting the
health of our nation through our Plumbing, Pipefitting and
HVAC Service work.
Our contractors employ the members of local 13 in many
construction Industries. We work in the Heavy Industrial,
Commercial and Residential Sectors. We also specialize in
HVAC Service throughout our jurisdiction, where heating &
cooling systems are vital to the economy during our warm
summers and cold winters.
Our members are required to graduate from the UA
Internationals certified and accredited Joint Apprenticeship
Training Program which produces the best Journeymen in the
industry. This 5-year apprenticeship program which requires
an apprentice to have over 10,000 hours of on-the-job
training as well as over 1,600 hours of classroom education
from certified instructors means that you have the most
qualified workforce at your disposal.
Our workforce takes pride in partnering with our signatory
contractors to deliver sophisticated piping systems to the
end user which are so important to the infrastructure of our
community.
We do it right the first time, so when the Ethanol Plants
come to upstate New York and our Universities expand existing facilities,
they can count on the members of Local 13. Along with equally important
commodities such as steam systems, potable water systems,
and comfort piping systems. These systems are necessary to
support the facilities.
There are numerous examples of our participation in
developing our communities. We have experience and are
currently working in many areas such as:
- Airports, both expansion and renovation
- Bio Research Labs
- Chemical Processing Plants
- Educational Institutions, both Public and Private
- Food and Beverage Processing Facilities
- Hotels
- Power Plants
- Processing Facilities
- Residential Homes and Developments
- Semiconductor Plants
- Strip Malls
- Sports Facilities and Arenas
- Water and Waste Treatment Facilities
- Wineries
Local 13 is extremely proud to be a productive member of
Western Central New York and the Finger Lakes business community. Since it's
inception, we've taken an active role and will continue to
play an ever bigger role as our community continues to thrive
in our great state of New York! |
