Schwan's pizza plant installs HVAC units using helicopters
Schwan’s Company and construction crews used an unconventional way to install its climate control systems on the new expansion at their pizza plant in Salina, KS. On Saturday, October 30, 2021, and Sunday, October 31, they used helicopters to lift more than 50 heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) units onto the roof of the new facility.
“Due to the size of both the building and the HVAC units, using helicopters was the safest and most efficient way to install the units,” said Salina’s Senior Director of Manufacturing Chris Wiseman, adding that on smaller projects, cranes would be used.
