Web Case Study-Team Mechanical and Maddock Industries Make the Palmer House Hilton Cooler
The Palmer House Hilton needed to replace its cooling tower and called on Team Mechanical Inc. (TMI) to aid the purchasing and installation of the tower onto the roof of the 24-floor hotel.
One weekend this spring, State and Monroe streets were shut down so that an S61 helicopter with a lift capability of 8,500 lbs. (provided by Helicopter Transport Services) could lift four lower cells and four upper cells of a Marley four-cell cooling tower onto the roof of the Palmer House Hilton at 17 E. Monroe St. Weighing more than 7,700 lbs. per piece, the helicopter lifted each of the eight pieces individually onto the roof, requiring a two-pilot operation.
