Administrative Team at James CRAFT & Son

The administrative team at James CRAFT & Son recently got out of the office for a luncheon in celebration of Administrative Professionals’ Day.  The management team recognizes the important roles these ladies have around our office.  Thank you for your (in some cases many) years of dedication to the company.  The employees in these positions certainly keep our office running smoothly and help to support our work happening out in the field.

And our administrative staff is growing! James CRAFT & Son has welcomed 2 new additions to the office over the past few weeks, Nikki Kamler and Angie Temple.

Nikki is the new Service Dispatcher for our Service Department while Angie will be our receptionist in the afternoons.  We extend a warm welcome to both Angie and Nikki in our office!  

HVAC Cooling Towers Set in Place

In many commercial HVAC systems “cooling towers” are used as part of the design/build process.  James CRAFT & Son sells, installs and services cooling towers on a regular basis.  Recently we were involved with the installation of cooling towers for two fine customers in our area…the CGA law firm in York and the Lancaster General Hospital (LGH) in Lancaster…

“I am pleased to announce a MAJOR milestone for the LGH Energy Center Project . . . Cooling Towers 3, 4 and 6 have been set in place on the top of the new Energy Center.  This is a major milestone accomplishment given the importance of re-establishing cooling capacities with Chillers 3 & 4 within our scheduled timeline.  This accomplishment is the result of expert, tenacious, and professional collaboration and cooperation by all trade partners involved…”

Roger Daub, project manager with Benchmark Construction

Overlooking the York City skyline, a new cooling tower adorns the rooftop of the CGA Lawfirm.  This project incorporated setting and aligning water pumps, installing chilled water piping, and fabricating a steel support frame with vibration isolators to hold the new equipment on the roof.  This new tower will provide years of worry free cooling capacity to the building’s occupants.
