Xantera, with Yellowstone National Parks, contracted Bargreen Ellingson for new, replacement and remodel the existing storage coolers and freezers to be ready for the 2007 season.

Old Faithful Lodge was in need of replacing 3 storage rooms and remodeling one storage freezer; while Canyon village required the replacement of a storage freezer and the addition of a cooler freezer combo in the employee dining area. Kyle Hawkins from Bargreen Ellingson in Tacoma, WA and Todd Sillars from Imperial Manufacturing took to the site in December 06 to evaluate the site for phase 1 thru 3 at the three main camps.

Imperial Manufacturing shipped the boxes and refrigeration to the site in March to there installers from Pitman Enterprises and Bargreen’s refrigeration installer Tim’s Mechanical Plus. The project required approximately 4 weeks completing and cost was approximately $250,000 for Phase 1.

Still to come is phase 2 and 3 for the 08 and 09 season. This will include replacing the remaining boxes at Canyon lodge, replacing the remaining boxes at Mammoth lodge and adding two new boxes. One interior and one exterior, keeping in mind this is Yellowstone National Park. Snow load is not a problem for Imperial Manufacturing.
