AAON Manufacturing HVAC Equipment for Temporary Hospitals and Critical Infrastructure
April 03 2020 - 3:40PM
AAON, Inc. (NASDAQ-AAON) is proud to announce that today the first
truckload of AAON HVAC equipment shipped out for the Stony Brook
Temporary Hospital under construction in Stony Brook, NY. As an
essential manufacturer of HVAC systems, AAON is doing all we can
for our customers that have AAON equipment on critical
infrastructure and those customers that need new equipment or parts
for critical infrastructure.
“On Sunday, March 29, I received a call from Joe
Sbarra, the President of the AAON sales representative office in
New York City, Gil-Bar Industries, inquiring about the ability of
AAON to build 2,200 tons of HVAC equipment for a temporary
hospital. By Tuesday, an order was placed for forty-four 50 ton
customized AAON units. We went into immediate 24-hour production of
this equipment in order to ensure delivery of all equipment by
Tuesday, April 7. The assembly line building these units in Tulsa
is now completely full with this job and the balance of units will
be shipped this weekend,” stated Gary Fields, President of
AAON.
This project is part of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers efforts to support the FEMA-led response to the pandemic
in New York. Construction is expected to be completed by April 18.
JB&B Consulting Engineers designed the mechanical systems
for the project.
A second order has already been placed for
another temporary hospital at SUNY Old Westbury, in Old Westbury,
NY. Those thirty-six 50 ton AAON units are scheduled to ship out a
week later. The 4,000 tons of HVAC equipment on these two orders
equates to the air conditioning for more than 1,300 single-family
homes.
Mr. Fields added, “AAON is pleased to
participate in emergency efforts such as this one, without any
premium pricing for expedited manufacturing and shipment. Multiple
other critical projects are also underway at all of our
manufacturing facilities. We have the manufacturing capacity, and
we are committed to being a part of the solution to these urgent
needs.”
