Pre-Demolition Refrigerant Recovery for DH Griffin

Rapid Recovery recovered refrigerant from rooftop units for DH Griffin before demolition of a building in Houston, Texas.

This project had 2 dual circuit chillers and 12 RTUs on 3 different rooftops. Most of the devices were on the roof of 6th floor. The building had no power, so there weren’t any lights or elevators. One of the RTUs was on a rooftop by itself with no access. We had to break a window with a pipe, and step out on a small roof with no barrier around the edge of the roof (tethered with a harness of course).

To add to the difficulty, it was very windy and rainy. We got soaked twice, and then a cold front came through. The Houston recovery crew showed up at the jobsite at 7 am and departed about 7 pm.

This was a cool job and one to be glad to have completed and add to our success story list.
