The Gossner Foods cheese plant in Logan, Utah, needed a new fire-protection system retrofitted in the shelf-stable milk section of the facility. The production area is where milk is processed and packaged into self-serve cartons. So, to match the food grade piping, stainless steel was installed.
“We retrofitted their production area in the old part of the building,” says Chris Gilden, project foreman for the Logan-based Paradise Fire Protection contractor firm. “For some of the project, we used the traditional roll-and-groove joints, but we used Viega ProPress for stainless steel in the food-grade sections so it would match.”
