Project: Cooling Tower Replacement

Client: Hydro Extrusions
Location: Yankton, South Dakota
Scope: Industrial cooling tower replacement support
Equipment: BAC cooling tower system
Industry: Manufacturing / Aluminum Extrusion

Project Overview

Ozzy Services provided field support for a cooling tower replacement at Hydro Extrusions in Yankton, South Dakota. The work required coordination inside an active industrial facility, where existing piping, overhead systems, access limitations, and plant operations had to be carefully managed.

The project included removal of the older cooling tower equipment and support for the placement and connection of the replacement BAC unit.

Field Challenges

This project involved several real-world industrial challenges:

  • Working around existing plant piping and overhead utilities

  • Accessing elevated equipment safely

  • Coordinating work in a tight mechanical area

  • Supporting equipment replacement inside an active facility

  • Maintaining awareness of surrounding production infrastructure

  • Managing the job safely around scaffolding, lifts, hoses, and plant systems

Industrial maintenance work rarely happens in clean, open conditions. It happens in tight spaces, around existing utilities, under time pressure, and with safety always at the front of the job.

Result

The replacement work was completed with the new BAC cooling tower installed and the system area restored for continued facility operation.

This project demonstrates Ozzy Services’ ability to support plant maintenance, cooling system replacement, shutdown work, and industrial facility upgrades in real-world operating environments.

Uranium ISR Field Infrastructure Support

Wyoming Uranium Operations

Ozzy Services provides field support for uranium ISR operations across Wyoming, including trenching support, conduit installation, site utility work, equipment coordination, and infrastructure preparation in remote field conditions.

In-situ recovery operations require more than standard construction support. Work is often performed in open terrain, around active drilling and utility corridors, with shifting weather, blowing dust, tight schedules, and multiple trades working in the same area.

Our team supports these projects with the same field-tested mindset we developed in oil and gas: show up prepared, adapt to conditions, protect the work, and keep the job moving.

From trench preparation and poly line handling to site support around wellfield buildings and processing infrastructure, Ozzy Services helps uranium operators build the systems that keep field operations connected, protected, and ready for production.

Custom Industrial Catwalk Systems

When industrial equipment requires safe, reliable access, off-the-shelf platforms often fall short. Ozzy Services designs and fabricates custom industrial catwalk systems engineered around your equipment, facility layout, and maintenance requirements. Every platform is built for strength, safety, and long-term durability in demanding industrial environments.

Whether you're installing new equipment or upgrading an existing facility, we manufacture custom steel platforms that provide secure access without compromising workflow or equipment performance.

Engineered Around Your Equipment

Every facility is different. That's why every catwalk system we build is custom fabricated to match the dimensions and operational requirements of your equipment.

Our industrial access systems can include:

  • Elevated steel catwalks

  • Heavy-duty structural steel framing

  • Custom grating platforms

  • Maintenance access walkways

  • Equipment service platforms

  • Access stairs and ladders

  • Handrails and safety barriers

  • Removable sections for equipment servicing

Plain answer: We build industrial access systems that fit your equipment instead of forcing your equipment to fit a standard platform.

Built for Safety and Long-Term Performance

Industrial maintenance requires safe access to critical equipment. Our fabricated steel platforms are designed to provide stable footing while allowing technicians to perform inspections, maintenance, and repairs efficiently.

Features can include:

  • Heavy-duty steel construction

  • Slip-resistant bar grating

  • Structural designs for industrial loads

  • Open grating for drainage and debris control

  • Corrosion-resistant finishes

  • Custom clearances around machinery

Every project is fabricated with durability and serviceability in mind.

Designed for Industrial Facilities

Our custom fabricated catwalk systems are ideal for:

  • Manufacturing facilities

  • Processing plants

  • Oil and gas operations

  • Mining facilities

  • Water treatment plants

  • Chemical processing

  • Power generation

  • Heavy industrial environments

From a single equipment platform to a complete elevated access system, Ozzy Services delivers solutions built to withstand demanding industrial use.

Custom Fabrication That Solves Real Problems

Industrial equipment rarely comes with standard dimensions. Existing buildings, utilities, and maintenance requirements create challenges that require custom solutions.

Our team designs and fabricates steel access systems that integrate with your facility while providing the clearance, strength, and accessibility your operation requires.

The result is an industrial catwalk system built specifically for your application, improving safety, simplifying maintenance, and supporting long-term reliability.

Featured Project

This custom fabricated steel catwalk system was designed to provide safe maintenance access around specialized industrial processing equipment. The project included a heavy-duty structural steel frame, elevated grating platform, and custom clearances to allow technicians full access while maintaining normal facility operations.

Every component was fabricated to fit the equipment and installed to meet the operational needs of the facility.
