Previous Structural Steel Projects
Waco, Inc. has successfully completed structural steelwork in conjunction with many types of projects. We create tailored solutions for the unique challenges each job presents, and we complete fabrication in advance to adhere to tight project schedules. Some of our past structural steel projects include:
Reactor Replacement
In a project for Ashland, Inc., we replaced a reactor in the Natrosol production area. The 12 ft. tall by 10 ft. diameter reactor, along with old piping and equipment, were removed using specialized rigging and a crane. New structural steel was then erected and the concrete floor was replaced. Waco, Inc. pre-fabricated much of the stainless steel and carbon steel piping in advance to meet the critical project timeframe. The total project was completed in only 4 weeks of round-the-clock shifts.
Bio-Mass Boiler Installation
Waco, Inc. upgraded numerous elements of a boiler plant in a project for Longwood University. Installation included three boilers, draft fans, enhanced pollution control equipment, a Webster burner, bucket elevator, a baghouse, and an improved ash recovery system. To complete this project, structural steel frames and catwalks were added, along with specialized detailed rigging that the tight working conditions demanded. Extensive updates to the electrical and mechanical elements were made, and new ductwork and breeching attachments for the draft fans were fabricated.
Rooftop Cooling Towers
Working on an active 19-story downtown building, Waco, Inc. replaced two evaporative cooling towers at Richmond City Hall. The piping and electrical systems were disconnected, then dismantled, and the old steel frame and cooling tower were removed. Waco, Inc. fabricated and galvanized a new steel frame and mounted the new cooling towers to it. Many electrical system updates were made, and pipe connections were welded in place. This project was completed on a tight schedule that didn’t allow for modifications after installation. Waco, Inc. accurately measured, fabricated, and staged all structural steel and pipe elements in our facility in advance.
