Project Overview

Airgas contacted ColonialWebb because they needed a quick and cost-effective solution for a previously unmanned facility that needed to be made capable of handling new business. The site had previously stored CO2 and had long been disconnected from refrigeration; Airgas had another CO2 storage facility shut down and needed to quickly re-route all of this facility’s existing business to a different plant. Working with our partners, we designed, procured, and installed a 200-ton low temp chiller which successfully provided a low temp refrigeration solution for Airgas’ CO2 storage needs in the short time frame they required. ColonialWebb and Airgas continue to work together on a multitude of other projects and job sites, and they have come to rely on Colonialwebb as a trusted advisor and provider of quick and reliable refrigeration needs.
