Service you trust. Equipment you need.
Location: Ontario, Canada
Industry: Mining / Processing
Equipment: Two 30-Ton Rental Air Conditioning Units
A mining and processing facility in Ontario, Canada, experienced unexpected operational shutdowns during periods of extreme heat. As ambient temperatures rose, sensitive electronic equipment began triggering “heat trip” sensors, forcing critical systems to shut down to prevent damage.
Each shutdown brought operations to a complete halt, creating significant financial risk and production disruption. Although the facility was in the early stages of upgrading its permanent HVAC system, an immediate cooling solution was urgently needed to restore stability and prevent further downtime.
Contact REIC Rentals for Fast Emergency Cooling and Climate Control Support
Late on a Friday, the facility contacted REIC Rentals requesting emergency cooling support. Due to the critical nature of the situation, there was no time for a traditional site visit or extended planning process.
Instead, REIC Rentals worked directly with the mine’s team over the phone to confirm key requirements, such as building dimensions, power availability, and equipment placement. Based on this information, REIC Rentals mobilized quickly.
By Saturday afternoon, two 30-ton rental air conditioning units had been delivered, installed, and were operating on site—bringing the facility back online.
The cooling solution was deployed in the processing and material-handling building, where high-powered electronic systems are essential to maintaining continuous operations. Once cooling was restored, equipment remained within safe operating temperatures, preventing further heat-related shutdowns.
One week later, an additional 30-ton unit was delivered to expand cooling coverage into other areas of the facility.
In the four weeks prior to contacting REIC Rentals, the mine experienced 12 heat-related shutdowns. After the rental AC units were installed, the facility experienced zero heat-related downtime.
The rental cooling units remained in operation throughout the summer, providing stable climate control until early October. As colder weather arrived, the mining operation chose to keep the equipment on site to supply fresh makeup air through the winter, with plans to resume cooling the following summer.
By responding quickly and delivering a turnkey emergency solution, REIC Rentals helped the facility restore operations, eliminate costly shutdowns, and protect critical equipment during extreme-temperature events.
