Going Above and Beyond at Mercy Hospital

We have another great client success story for you – this time it was with Ceroni Piping for a project at Mercy Hospital in Rockford, IL. As always, we pride ourselves on the decades of experience and knowledge our Sales Engineers have under their belt. For this project, their expertise definitely came into play.

Ceroni Piping in Cherry Valley, Illinois needed to install a hydronic, radiant fin-tube heating system in the new lobby of the hospital. The lobby was designed with custom-sized and curved fin-tube components, and the job had a very aggressive deadline. Our customer asked us for our expertise in recommending the right products and relied on us to ensure the measurements were correct for the curved window mullions in the lobby.

Dean Powrozek, one of our Sales Engineers, and a Union sheet-metal worker, excels in these situations, but this job was even more difficult than most. With most projects, we get called-in to measure once the walls are up. However, because of the aggressive schedule, and product lead-times, the contractor couldn’t wait and the materials needed to be ordered. Using his many years of experience, Dean laid-out the window mullion design in chalk on the floor, and was able to measure correctly so that every spliced connection lined up perfectly with the mullions for a more aesthetic look.

As you can see, it was tricky because we had to account for the curve of the wall in between the columns. The fin-tube needed to be designed, measured and a correct bill of materials had to arrive on time, based on chalk marks on the floor! No other company offers this level of service or expertise! Dean’s measurements were right on the money, the system was installed perfectly by the customer and the finished product, speaks for itself!

Sterling Commercial Hydronic products are the top of the line, and their engineers worked with us during the design stage, to assure a perfect fit and a fantastic looking, finished product. Ceroni Piping was able to meet their deadline in part, because of our service and expertise!

We are proud to represent Sterling, the leader in the industry with the most diverse and complete line of hydronic heating products. They are also the best choice for custom, finned tube applications, which was exactly what was needed for this project.
