Installed rail within a concrete floor for transport of materials inside of our customer’s building. Completed all the layout work to obtain a proper center line and elevation for each rail to ensure proper mating and to maintain proper gauge and level so that the cars ride smoothly on top. Made permanent by pouring a high strength, no shrink grout under the sole plates to fully distribute the load (poured from one side only to ensure no air pockets). Rounded it out by pouring 5000psi concrete to close the rest of the trench.
Completed fabricating an air seal for a large mixer bin and provided a nitrogen feed to the bin. Included modifications to the stainless-steel lid including additional bracing, fabricating/installing multiple sensors, manual and automatic hoppers, and a custom rubber seal. Installed a new line from the nitrogen tank and ran it from outside through multiple walls and finally to a manifold used to distribute the nitrogen to various inlets on the bin. Installing the multiple nitrogen and air lines with bypasses to allow any combination of air and nitrogen.
Assembled a hopper/screw conveyor unit from drawings and completed a custom install of the unit. The install included removing part of a small landing and integrating the new unit in to gain access to the tank it was feeding. This went smoothly and the unit mated right up with our cut back platform. We worked with the customer’s engineer to find solutions and resolve problems, which included increasing the clearance to the platform, modifying the top and side of the tank, and setting the unit slightly out of level to obtain alignment with the feed shoot to the tank inlet. We are adept at on the spot problem solving and believe that brings added value to our customers.
Installed approximately 1400ft run of 4” sch40 pipe. It was a project that started with fabricating a custom header for two pumps including butterfly and check valves and merging them into one pipe. We then fabricated all of our own custom brackets for the run, working around many interferences and maintaining about a 20ft elevation. We exited the wall of a building and went underground to cross a concrete road within the plant and enter another building on the other side. We did the cutting, excavation, layout, pipe install, stone bed, and poured the concrete to close the trench. The pipe was welded most of the length, using flanges only where it was impossible to access for a weld. Proper rated ductile pipe was used underground.
