Barge Loading System Capacity Increase
Client | Continental Cement Company
Location | Hannibal, Missouri
Increase annual volume of the barge loading system through the existing River Silos in order to accommodate a plant production capacity increase. The cement transfer design rate from the Truck Silos to the River Silos was increased from 160 STPH to 300 STPH. A new telescoping barge loading spout system was required to supplement the two existing loading systems. This new loading spout is to be used for standard grain type river barges.
The scope of work included preliminary through final engineering design involving civil, structural, mechanical and electrical disciplines, Development of Project Specifications, Permitting Assistance, Development of Equipment Bid Packages & Bid Evaluation Services, Major Engineering Deliverables.
A significant part of the project was to modify the existing Truck Silo Air Gravity Conveyor reclaim system, and add a new pneumatic transfer system with compressors in order to accommodate the increased rate. This new system also provided greater silo reclaim flexibility by strategically integrating higher capacity Air Gravity Conveyors to feed the new transfer system to the River Silos.
Help Prevent Worker Injuries Due to Electrical Equipment Failure | Become Arc-Flash Compliant
What is an arc flash, and why does EDG’s electrical division excel against the competition in providing arc-flash services?
An arc flash is a massive release of energy due to electrical current traveling through the air between electrical components at different potentials. If you are exposed to an arc flash, you may be exposed to temperatures up to 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit and explosive energy comparable to a blast of dynamite. Each day, 5-10 arc flash incidents occur in the United States and 2,000 workers annually are admitted to burn centers with severe arc-flash burns. Understanding the dangers, increasing worker awareness and reducing existing hazard levels are essential to the safety of those who work around electrical equipment.
EDG has the team of experts with experience in many industries and types of facilities and the knowledge to help you become Arc-Flash Compliant. We will work with you to tailor a program to meet the needs of your company or organization and comply with relevant safety standards, avoid citations and fines, and minimize the impact on your staff and operations.
