Case Description
Project Overview
A major national grocery retailer required the replacement of approximately 80 aging evaporators at its refrigerated distribution center in Tracy, California. Due to the scale and operational importance of the facility, the retailer needed a trusted partner capable of delivering accurate, reliable equipment that would last another 30 years. SGS Refrigeration, a brand of SPX Cooling Tech, was selected for the project based on its reputation for responsive customer support and equipment reliability.
Site Evaluation & Planning
SGS Refrigeration deployed a field team to the site to perform a detailed evaluation. During the visit, the team collected precise measurements, documented existing equipment specifications, and met directly with facility personnel to understand their operational needs and project goals. This upfront investment ensured that each replacement unit was designed to fit seamlessly into the facility’s existing infrastructure, reducing risk and installation time.
Execution & Results
SGS supplied 79 custom-configured evaporators, each engineered to meet the performance demands of a high-volume, temperature-sensitive environment. The team maintained close communication with the customer and their contractor throughout the project, offering technical support and coordinating logistics to keep everything on schedule.
Key Results:
- 79 evaporators were replaced on time and to specification
- Zero fitment issues due to accurate field measurements
- Enhanced system reliability and temperature performance
- Streamlined collaboration between facility team, contractors, and SGS
This project highlights SGS Refrigeration’s commitment to delivering tailored, field-validated solutions through careful planning and customer-focused execution.
