Louisiana HVACR Contractor Extends Service To Japan
SHREVEPORT, LA — Richardson’s Plumbing and Heating, Inc., an HVACR contractor that has been doing business in the Shreveport-Bossier area for 86 years, has now completed its first international project. The Asset Management Services unit of Trane recently hired Richardson’s to retrofit the condenser water system for a 500-ton chilled water plant at the Misawa Air Force Base Clinic in Japan.
Richardson’s sent a six-person crew to Misawa to install the necessary condenser water piping, insulation, electrical service, and controls to replace the existing cooling towers and associated piping at the Air Base Clinic. The crew consisted of fitters, an electrician from Camus Electric Co., an insulator from C & J Insulators, and a field clerk. Chief operating officer and president Don Richardson attended the jobsite pre-construction conference in late April. Construction began on May 1, 2002 and was completed June 11, 2002.
