Nationwide Boiler's Rapid Response with Emergency Rental Boilers

This month twelve years ago Nationwide Boiler responded to an emergency call at Ground Zero. The horrific events in New York City on September 11, 2001 left many buildings without heat and other necessary steam-based facilities due to the destruction of the steam delivery infrastructure. The devastation of the area included a 20-inch steam main used for delivery of the steam to users. In order to restore activities around the damaged area of Ground Zero, facilities, including steam delivery, had to be replaced and temporary boilers were required.

Within hours of receiving the go-ahead for the emergency rental, shipping arrangements were made for a complete 140,000 lb/hr steam plant to be installed near the damaged steam main at Ground Zero. A 70,000 lb/hr trailer-mounted rental boiler was dispatched from the Nationwide Boiler East facility in Delanco, NJ, and a self-contained water treatment van and second rental boiler were shipped from the Nationwide Boiler headquarters in Fremont, CA.

Operating on a fast-track basis, the steam plant was delivered, brought on-line and readied for operation at Ground Zero in a matter of days. The system steam main was connected to temporary steam distribution lines, providing offices and residences in the area with heat and the other steam-based services.

If you are in an emergency situation and need temporary steam, Nationwide Boiler’s mobile rental boilers can be shipped immediately, worldwide. Download our emergency preparedness plan and contact us today at 1-800-227-1966.
