DAKOTA ETHANOL

Rasmussen became my “one stop shop” for ALL my boiler needs. All I had to do was call and explain what was going on and then sit back. Parts were ordered in a timely fashion and Techs arrived when they said they would. Work was always done quickly and second to none! Great feeling knowing I have a company that has my back and has proven it over and over for the past 21 years.

JEREMY CHRISTIANSEN - SUPERINTENDENT

HUGHES BROTHERS INC.

We needed (help with) mechanical projects; welding, boiler, steam, condensate, compressed air, in different areas around our plant.  Rasmussen Mechanical Services helped us evaluate our options and save us a lot of time and money to get back on line – ASAP.

MATT STRYSON - PLANT ENGINEER

COUNCIL BLUFFS COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

I wouldn’t recommend anyone else… We had issues that other technicians couldn't get to the bottom of so Rasmussen came in and did the repair work and followed up with preventive maintenance.

HOWARD COUNTY MED CENTER

We get all of our help from Rasmussen. I can call on the phone and talk with somebody and they are local.

ROGER GRIMM

You were by far the best outside contracting crew we have ever had the opportunity to work with. The knowledge and expertise was superior. Your guys did an outstanding job replacing our boiler's burners.

BOYSTOWN NATIONAL RESEARCH HOSPITAL – OMAHA, NE

I’ve worked in facilities all my life, for 35 years. I would recommend Rasmussen Mechanical because of their outstanding service and reliability... If my boilers break down I know who I’m going to call and who’s going to show up.

DAVID MCATEE – DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

KELLOGS – OMAHA, NE

I would recommend them to work with other people just based on the quality and craftsmanship of their work. We went from 75%-80% efficient to 92%-94% efficient. A 12%-15% gas savings for the plant.

CONRAD BALDWIN – FACILITIES UTILITIES PLANNER

MARS PETCARE – AURORA, NE

They’ve done a tremendous job for us. Not only are they there to do a job, but they can break it down to layman’s terms, so that as an operator, I can practice what they teach me. We’ve learned from their experience so it’s kind of a win-win for all of us.

ROBERT STYLES – UTILITY TECHNICIAN

WEST PHARMACEUTICALS – KEARNEY, NE

They do more than what’s expected and we have one contact we can call for many different services.

JOHN NIKKILA – UTILITY TECHNICIAN

SAVE MONEY MANAGING COOLING TOWER WATER FLOW

We have encouraged a number of facilities to let us examine the flow rates on their cooling towers units. This way we can see if we can improve overall efficiency. Fortunately and unfortunately for facilities, we have a high success rate at finding issues. We often find some zones are overflowing, some zones are under flowing and air side velocities are all out-of-whack.
