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.
