When the iconic Banff Springs Hotel needed an upgraded chiller system to keep their luxurious spa center at optimal temperatures, Canada West Mechanical was brought in to execute a unique and challenging project. Due to the hotel’s forested surroundings and the equipment’s weight, conventional lifting methods were not feasible, requiring an innovative approach to ensure a seamless installation.
Challenge:
Replacing the chiller presented a logistical challenge: a crane could not be used due to the surrounding forest, and the weight of the equipment limited options for transport. With guest comfort and minimal disruption as top priorities, finding an efficient solution for this remote, high-profile location was essential.
Solution:
Our team coordinated a complex helicopter lift operation to transport and install the chiller. By sourcing a helicopter with large-scale aerial lift capabilities, we were able to maneuver the heavy equipment into place with precision. This method allowed us to overcome environmental and logistical obstacles without disturbing the hotel’s tranquil setting or spa operations.
Results:
The new chiller was successfully installed, delivering improved cooling capabilities to the Banff Springs Hotel’s spa center. Our team completed the project on time and without any operational interruptions, ensuring that guests continued to enjoy a comfortable and refreshing experience.
Key Takeaways:
Innovative problem-solving with the use of a helicopter lift to overcome location constraints.
Seamless project execution without disruption to hotel guests or spa operations.
Enhanced cooling capabilities for the hotel’s spa, improving guest comfort and experience.
