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.
