Kinley Construction Announces the Launch of Kinley Advanced Technical Services

Kinley Construction recently announced the launch of Kinley Advanced Technical Services (KATS), a division for rotating equipment parts, servicing and maintenance.

KATS provides solutions to multiple industries and works together with Kinley's railroad, aviation, energy, and government divisions. The division has built a regional headquarters in Wellsville, New York, and has created new jobs in the region by re-opening a facility that was previously closed by a company working in the same industry in 2020.

Mark Vitale, Kinley Construction's current Chief Operating Officer, will also serve as President of KATS. Vitale has over 20 years of expertise in the supply chain, operations, engineering, design, and safety with several manufacturing companies.

Kinley Construction's Chief Operating Officer, Mark Vitale, commented, "I'm tremendously excited about the opportunity and niche KATS fills for rotating equipment." He added, "For key industries, including Kinley Construction customers, KATS is meeting a critical need that's not widely available today."

This aligns with our expansion goals and enables us to take advantage of some of the best people and talent in the country—something we've been doing for over 100 years in this region."

Using OpenSpace AI to capture site progress and validate designs

How we use OpenSpace to capture 3D site photos and compare them side by side to BIM models to validate designs.

"For people who have a lot on their plate like Directors or for Design Managers, it's quite straightforward to pull up a side-by-side view of the model and make sure what’s been installed is actually the approved design", Kevin Hogan, Senior Design Manager.

This ease of access to information is not only valuable for our Design teams, but also for our clients. With this technology, we're able to take them along the journey with us, and also give them access to this information afterwards so they can revisit any part of the build process and use it as a tool while they maintain their asset for decades to come.
