Parson Refrigeration Leads with Newer Technologies: Large CO2 Projects
In 2019 we were awarded the largest refrigeration project that we had ever undertaken. The Sysco Tannis Warehouse project was an expansion of 125,000 square feet of refrigerated space. We were responsible to design, supply, install and commission the complete refrigeration system.
The client’s typical warehouse would use ammonia as a refrigerant, at our recommendation they accepted a refrigeration system using CO2 as the refrigerant. At the time of the contract award, it was their first CO2 refrigerated warehouse in North America.
With our equipment supplier partners, we provided our client with an energy efficient, environmentally superior, made-in-Canada solution for the refrigeration equipment design. Our suppliers include: System LMP, Laval Quebec; Ref-Plus, St. Hubert Quebec; Keeprite Refrigeration, Brantford Ontario.
The installation was handled by an Ottawa-based team of contractors including BBS Construction as the general contractor, Dry core Electric, Dilfo Mechanical and ourselves. The construction required extensive coordination between all trades to get the system operational.
