SSAB,
formally IPSCO, is an existing steel manufacturing facility in Axis, AL.
In an effort to provide more control over their steelmaking process, SSAB
installed a Vacuum Tank Degasser (VTD) at their melt shop. The VTD project
involved placing equipment in a 20,000 square foot footprint, 80 feet high,
with three working levels. Structural Engineering services included the design
to support a 300 Ton overhead crane. Electrical and Piping design
included rerouting existing utilities to allow the VTD process area to be added
at the existing facility. The addition was required to be implemented with only
minor disruption to the operations of the facility.
$30 Million - Panama City, FL
Services: Construction Management, Civil Engineering,
Structural Engineering, Environmental Permitting,
GSE provided
planning, design, engineering, and construction supervision for a new undersea
pipe umbilical facility. The general
construction scope was the renovation of an approximately 165,000 sq.ft. manufacturing
space with two 50,000 sq. ft. circular buildings designed to spool pipe umbilicals.
Detailed design included the manufacturing facility, spooling building, guard
building and gate. In addition, design of the site, including grading, paving,
storm drainage, fire water, domestic water, sewage, electrical, and
communications were carried out. The site was built on a brownfield
with serious environmental considerations found during construction, which
added additional constraints and complexity to the planning of the
facility.
