Spring Training and Spring Renovations

Posted in Main by imperial on 08/22 at 05:56 AM

Imperial contracted WW Commercial Refrigeration in Los Angeles to install the coolers and the Heatcraft refrigeration equipment and they did an outstanding job. This was not an easy install as they were only allowed to work in certain sections of the stadium at specific times.

Los Angeles, CA – TriMark Raygal of Irvine, CA was awarded the contract for the 1st of many phases in the renovation of the Dodgers Stadium in December of 2006.
The first phase included adding two new large beer coolers to level 3 of the stadium before the start of the spring season.

Rob Perry, the project manager for Raygal, George Perry, the principal foodservice consultant with Ricca Newmark Design in Greenwood Village, CO, and Rob Loucks from Imperial Mfg in Portland, OR all took to the task in late December 2006.

The stadiums unique design, the stringent codes and seismic requirements for Los Angeles, 1,600 lbs of beer pump equipment and condensing units that were to sit atop each of the coolers and the time constraints all played significant roles in the challenges that lay head for this team of professionals. They began working very closely with the architect, HKS Architects, Inc in Dallas, TX and Miller Consulting Engineers in Portland, OR.

The on site date was nearing and changes were still being made due to last minute field dimensions that were given. The design team at Imperial really stepped up to the plate, pardon the pun, when changes came in the day before this project was scheduled to be released to the production floor. They were able to make these last minute changes, clear it with the Engineers and still release it the next day.

Currently, Ricca Newmark is working on Phase IV of the renovations which includes new walk-in coolers and freezers for the field level concessions due to install before the Fall season kicks off.
