AN NTI SUCCESS STORY
AN NTI SUCCESS STORY:
HIGH RIVER COLONY
CHICKEN BARN
The High River Colony is a Hutterite community
located about a one hour drive south of Calgary,
Alberta, that raises quality poultry products
for Alberta consumers. Their production is
fully integrated and very respectful of welfare,
safety, and quality principles.
IN 2017, the Colony decided to build a brand new 30,000 sq. ft.
building to accommodate a chicken barn that would significantly
increase their production to allow them to properly serve their
growing customer base. For the heating system, they decided to trust
Frontier Supply Calgary that helped with the design and supplied all
the required equipment.
High River Colony needed a heating system that could supply
approximately 3,000 MBH of heating year-round for the chicken barn
and supply a domestic hot water (DHW) demand of approximately 10
GPM of 140° F water.
Raising chickens in Alberta is not easy, and the heating system is
crucial to maintain a steady and reliable source of heat for the entire
year. Failures and shutdowns are not an option in this kind of business.
Even a few minutes of cold air can kill all the chickens, and with it, the
source of revenue for many months to come.
That is why the Colony was looking for a very reliable boiler and
a manufacturer that they could trust in case of any need during
operations. Together with Frontier, they decided to trust NTI’s FTG
Series for its well-known reliability and for the quality and accessible
support provided by the company. The Colony already knew NTI and its
staff from a number of previous projects using various NTI products,
and they had the proof of the care and attention the company puts on
serving customer needs, directly in the field when required.
