New Barge Unloading Berth and Storage Addition
Client | Continental Cement Company
Location | St. Louis, Missouri
Construction of a new barge unloading berth, barge receiving system and new storage facility for Type I/II cement. The system is designed to unload and transfer cement either to a new filter/receiver system with Air Gravity Conveyor distribution located atop existing silos, or to a new 40,000 Ton capacity pre-engineered concrete storage dome. The conveying rate is established at a nominal rate of 330 STPH. The dome is equipped with an aerated floor capable of reclaiming cement at a rate of up to 250 STPH.
The scope of work included concept through final engineering design involving civil, structural, mechanical and electrical disciplines and Permitting Assistance (USACOE, Air Quality and Construction). Coordination with local government agencies and utility providers, Development of Equipment Bid Packages & Bid Evaluation Services and Major Engineering Deliverables.
The barge unloading system includes the first dual pneumatic arm cement unloading system in the United States. A new river cell and dolphin system was constructed to capture a floating unloading station. This station was positioned sufficiently from the river bank to allow cargo barges to be staged or breasted on either side of the floating platform. A single pivoting pneumatic unloading arm is mounted on either side of the floating deck barge. While the arms do not work simultaneously, both feed a dual pod Dense Phase pneumatic conveying system. This allows the potential for a faster unloading cycle due to the ability to unload one barge, then begin unloading the barge on the opposite side while barge dispatch and positioning occurs on the other side.
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.
