Project Overview

American Airlines’ facility in Fort Worth, Texas, required a comprehensive cooling infrastructure upgrade to maintain critical operational efficiency. The project involved the replacement of six 1,000-ton cooling towers, installation of two basin filtration skids, and replacement of pumps, drives, and extensive piping throughout the tower yard. Ensuring uninterrupted operations during the replacement process was a key priority, necessitating the deployment of temporary equipment to maintain cooling capacity.

Our Approach

Our expertise in executing complex mechanical infrastructure projects in critical environments was essential to the success of this initiative. Our team provided:

  • Seamless Project Execution: Coordinated planning and phased implementation ensured minimal disruption to American Airlines’ operations.
  • Specialized Mechanical Expertise: Our skilled teams handled the removal and installation of cooling towers, pumps, drives, and piping with precision, ensuring system reliability.
  • Temporary Equipment Solutions: We provided temporary cooling equipment to maintain facility operations throughout the duration of the replacement, preventing downtime.

Outcome

Upchurch successfully delivered a modernized cooling infrastructure tailored to American Airlines’ operational needs. The facility now benefits from:

  • Enhanced cooling capacity to support mission-critical operations.
  • Improved energy efficiency and system reliability with upgraded pumps, drives, and filtration systems.
  • Seamless facility operations maintained throughout the transition with temporary equipment solutions.
