Equipment Rigging
Award-winning execution of complex industrial rigging and duct replacement—recognized by IMPACT as the 2015 Project of the Year for Industrial Rigging & Machinery Moving.
Structural Steel & Equipment Installation
Erected 9,356 tons of structural and reinforcing steel supporting large-scale emissions control and baghouse systems
Installed baghouse structures, booster fans, dampers, and associated structural support steel using large crawler cranes, many with super-lift configurations
Heavy Rigging & Machinery Moving
Executed complex industrial rigging involving dual and multi-hook critical lifts
Performed high-risk rigging operations within confined and active plant areas
Coordinated crane movements through a precisely sequenced critical-path lift plan
Ductwork Replacement & Outage Execution
Performed major duct replacement and tie-ins during a scheduled outage, requiring tight sequencing and coordination
Achieved gas-tight duct completion 2½ shifts ahead of the outage schedule, enabling early return to service
Schedule Performance & Project Phasing
Executed work over a two-year project duration, consisting of two primary phases
Completed both phases ahead of schedule, including outage work
Managed removal and installation activities on an hour-by-hour basis during critical outage windows
Safety, Labor & Collaboration
Executed approximately 300,000 total man-hours with a peak manpower of 156 craft professionals
Delivered the project under NSC’s zero-incident safety culture, earning owner recognition for safety, planning, and execution excellence
