PROJECT DETAILS

CHALLENGES

The Dorchester, SC location of Sportsman Boats was experiencing issues with high employee turnover due to the excessive temperatures during the summer seasons and increased demand in workforce. Sportsman Boats' challenges were:

  • No cooling in the facility
  • High employee turnover rates
  • Cost-sensitive budgeting for the manufacturing area

SOLUTION

Our team of experts provided a comprehensive solution including:

  • 2 custom Air Rotation Units (ARUs) designed to distribute air in excess of 250ft without ductwork
  • Economizer module for the ARUs
  • Installing a high efficiency chilled water solution

BOTTOM LINE

Sportsman Boats became increasingly attractive to new recruits, after the installation of the ARUs and chilled water solution, because they could now offer conditioned air in their production area. They yielded the following additional results subsequent to project installation:

  • Increased employee retention rates
  • Reduced operation costs with high efficiency chilled water solution
  • Economizer module for the ARUs added additional energy savings
  • Cost effective maintenance solution vs. traditional cooling methods
  • 25% increased system life expectancy

Ever since we put AC in the production area, we have been much more attractive to recruits.
