Precision Chiller Dismantling & Mechanical Retrofit Case Study

Precision Chiller Dismantling & Mechanical Retrofit Case Study
A local New Jersey representative for a major chiller manufacturer recommended R. Baker & Son for a demanding chiller change-out project. The scope: remove two 1,200-ton chillers and their associated multi-cell cooling tower, then clear the way for two new high-efficiency heat pump chillers and fluid coolers to take their place.

Fast, Efficient Cooling Tower Demolition

Speed and precision were critical from the start. The large three-cell cooling tower was drained, cleaned, dismantled, and disassembled with a 130-ton hydraulic boom crane fitted with an extended jib, reaching 75 feet in from the loading dock. Large lifting baskets made quick work of removing the plastic splash fill, electric pony motors, fan blades, sump piping, and other components.

Just-in-Time Rigging Keeps a Hospital Running During a Critical Enabling Project

R. Baker & Son received a call from a concerned South Jersey mechanical contractor facing a complex rigging project on a tight deadline. Another rigging contractor had passed on the job late in the game, put off by its timing and complexity. The scope called for relocating several major pieces of mechanical equipment inside a busy, fully operational hospital, including two 150-HP screw air compressors and their associated dryer systems, a medical air and medical vacuum system, and two large water pre-treatment systems.

The challenge: the compressed air and water pre-treatment systems needed to be removed and relocated to the far side of a large mechanical room to make way for a new fire pump and electrical room. This work was an enabling project, clearing space ahead of a major new hospital addition.

Working Around a Live Hospital

Because the hospital couldn't accommodate any disruption to patient care, every relocation had to happen during off-hours, when demand was at its lowest. That meant the work could only take place late Saturday night into early Sunday morning.

None of the equipment could be fully shut down, since every system was fully redundant. That meant moving one system at a time while its counterpart stayed online, continuously supplying clean compressed air, water pre-treatment, and medical gases to the hospital. With only a few hours to work each night, the team needed a precise plan to isolate, disconnect, and remove each redundant unit quickly and move it into position at its new home.

Rigging Route: Skates, a Crane, and a Forklift Through the Louvers

The fastest path out of the mechanical room was to set the equipment on skates and carefully roll it out.

How Mobile and Tower Cranes Are Assembled & Dismantled

Mobile cranes come in many styles, shapes, and sizes, with the hydraulic crane and the luffing jib being the most common. R. Baker & Son has worked with just about every mobile crane on the market. Some are so large that assembling them requires multiple tractor trailers of booms and hardware, along with several smaller cranes to help put the main crane together. And of course, it takes a skilled team of riggers to assemble and later dismantle a crane that may only be needed for a single lift.

However, mobile cranes can't reach the heights or scale required to build tall buildings safely and efficiently. That's where stationary cranes come in, falling into two basic categories: internal and external. Within these, there are two primary crane types to choose from: the hammerhead crane, with its vertical mast, horizontal jib, and counterweights, and the luffing jib crane, which angles upward much like a fishing pole and also relies on counterweights. R. Baker & Son has worked with many tower crane systems as well.

Choosing the right crane depends on several factors, including the maximum weight to be lifted, the crane's overall reach, the height of the building, and how many picks are needed per day or per hour. These requirements may point to using a single crane or several, depending on the size of the project, the surrounding site conditions, and any obstacles that need to be worked around.

Let's start with what's needed to install an external crane, since these are the most common. Once the structural engineering team carefully selects the right crane for the project, erecting and eventually dismantling it involves several key steps. Here's a concise overview of the process:

7 Ways Demolition Protects Communities & the Planet 🌏 R. Baker & Son

When most people picture demolition, they see dust clouds and falling walls. What they don't see is the careful planning, environmental responsibility, and community impact that professional demolition and dismantling companies like R. Baker & Son bring to every project.

As an experienced industrial demolition contractor, R. Baker & Son has spent decades proving that tearing things down can build better communities, cleaner environments, and stronger neighborhoods. Here are seven ways demolition and dismantling create real, lasting change.

1. Pre-Demolition Enabling Work Ensures Environmental Compliance

Before any sustainable demolition activity can begin, enabling work is often required to safely

identify and remove specific liquids, gases, and solids from a structure. This includes reclaiming refrigerant gases and oils from DX air conditioning systems, draining chilled water, hot water, and glycol from HVAC systems, emptying and cleaning old tanks or reservoirs, and removing any residual solids or powders. R. Baker & Son coordinates closely with clients, industrial hygienists, and specialized contractors to verify materials and confirm proper removal and disposal methods. This careful groundwork keeps projects clean, compliant, and environmentally responsible from day one.

Mission-Critical Planning: How R. Baker & Son Executes High-Stakes Projects with Engineered Work Plans

Mission-critical and high-stakes projects demand detailed, preplanned coordination to ensure success at every level. When it comes to plant shutdowns, startups, repairs, changeovers, and equipment replacements, R. Baker & Son relies on a powerful, phased planning approach: starting with a Preliminary Work Plan and culminating in a highly detailed Engineered Safety Work Plan.

The Blueprint for Success: Preliminary and Engineered Work Plans

At R. Baker & Son, our planning process begins before the contract is even signed. We first prepare a Preliminary Work Plan, which outlines the general scope, sequence, and logistical approach. Once the project is awarded, we refine this initial strategy into a comprehensive Engineered Safety Work Plan....

Moving a multi-ton medical MRI magnet isn’t standard rigging; it’s surgical logistics.

When handling heavy, delicate superconducting magnets and liquid helium systems, precision is crucial. In our latest case study, the R. Baker & Son team managed a complex, tight-clearance medical equipment installation across multiple floors of an active healthcare facility.

Key highlights include:
- Early rooftop staging of medical chillers
- Hoisting 8,000-lb imaging units through narrow exterior wall openings using an 80-ton hydraulic crane and specialized "cookie sheet" spreader platforms

We successfully delivered a true turnkey ex*****on in just three days.
