Commercial Chiller Relocation & Piping

In 2023, JDI began planning to erect and build out a 5000 SF pre-engineered metal building to house our electronics client’s new washing treatment system. But before we could begin this job, we start by relocating the client’s commercial chiller system to a new concrete pad.

This project starts with our electricians performing a complete shutdown of the chiller by shutting off the breaker. They then relocate the breaker system, and finally, run new conduit to be able to connect its new location and distance. After this, the piping and mechanical team could begin their work.

The piping and mechanical team began the reinstallation project with our team cutting the old chilled water lines to separate the chiller from the building. The piping team then began fabricating new carbon lines of various lengths and angles, and beveling and tig welding the flanges needed to connect the chiller.

Prior to our crane’s arrival, we readied the chiller with rigging, and installed the new process piping in its new location to be able to quick connect the system.

Once the crane arrived into place, we then lifted the chiller and moved it over within a matter of minutes to its new permanent location. After the rigging team made sure everything was squared and set, the process pipe team then connected the new chilled water pipes to the chiller, completing the work.

Because of our familiarity with chiller systems and how to do the mechanical, piping, and rigging work, this client knew we were the right choice for the job. JDI was able to minimize downtime to just a few hours and had the client back to producing their components because of our abilities.

The plant manager loves our ability to align with the plant’s needs and understand the scope of work, and calls us each month to take on new mechanical and piping projects.
