The engineering department at CalCA has over eighty years of combined experience in the refrigeration industry. All of our engineers hold degrees in Mechanical Engineering and are under the direction of a licensed ME. Furthermore, an engineer will be personally involved with a project from concept to completion, spending much of his time out on the job site overseeing the installation.
While the trend of some refrigeration companies is to outsource all of the installation of their piping and equipment, CalCA has chosen to train up and maintain our own construction crews. We believe in keeping close tabs on quality and workmanship and know that it is best accomplished by those that are trained by CalCA and vested in our good reputation.
With the rapid changes in computer and controls technology the challenge for any company is not only to provide the latest in technology, but something that will not become obsolete in five or even ten years. While we have extensive experience with a variety of PLC packages, the center of our preferred control system is a software package that operates on a standard PC computer and interfaces with separate I/O hardware. CalCA has control systems that were installed in the mid 1980’s still in operation which have only required updates in the software and PC computers to stay on top of the latest technology. Our controls department also set the standard long ago by obtaining UL® certification for the control panels that are built at our facilities.
