Downey Inc. hoists large humidifier into Hilton Milwaukee City Center Hotel
MILWAUKEE — Hoisting a 30-ft-long, 20,000-lb Dry-O-Tron® dehumidifier sideways into the semi-completed, $40 million Hilton Milwaukee City Center expansion was a rigging challenge for mechanical contractor Downey Inc. and general contractor, Mortensen Construction.
The huge, 50,000-cfm unit — one of the world’s largest — will dehumidify the Hilton’s new three-story, 20,000-sq-ft indoor water theme park.
