International baked goods manufacturer in Portland Metro Area with continuous production operations dependent on cooling tower and chilled water systems for process control and ambient air temperature management.
T&M Design provided project management, construction management, and mechanical engineering services for a cooling tower and chilled water systems replacement at a 24/7 baked goods production facility. The systems support critical operations including ambient air cooling, product cooling between ovens and packaging, ingredient cooling and dehumidification, and equipment condenser cooling.
The facility’s aging central cooling infrastructure required replacement while maintaining continuous operations. Any system failure during summer peak production would result in significant operational losses. Additionally, the client needed to comply with company policy and the Montreal Protocol by eliminating all R22 refrigerant (ozone-depleting substance) from their systems.
T&M Design developed and executed a phased replacement strategy that maintained full operational capacity throughout the project:
Critical infrastructure replacements in 24/7 facilities require strategic phasing and proactive risk management. T&M’s coordinated execution kept production running, maintained process specifications, and delivered the project on schedule and budget with zero operational losses.
