Initial feasibility study and AACE Class 2 cost estimate for a new integrated railcar unloading, piping, storage system and marine loading for transfer of product from railcar to cargo vessel, as well as modification to rail car area for top unloading of glycol.
All Weather Loading Study
For this all weather scoping study, Sacré-Davey designed a system to allow loading of product during all weather conditions at the port.
Shiploader Upgrade
For this Ship Unloader upgrade project, Sacré-Davey had to replace the obsolete electrical drive control system of the Berth #1 Ship Unloader. This system upgrade also included the installation of a receiving hopper/spill plate, the addition of efficient dust mitigation measures for the hopper, and the replacement of other worn-out components of the ship unloader as required.
Phosrock Project
This faciililty improvement project required the installation of dry bulk ship unloading machinery, a network of inbound conveyors, a storage shed, and a network of outbound conveyors including a surge bin and a rail car load out system.
Building Expansion & New Production Line
Project involved the enlargement of an existing 77,000 sq. ft. operation- al commercial bakery by 11,000 sq. ft. through the creation of new GMP ‘white box’ production area and additional packaging space. This re- quired the up-grading of existing ingredient handling areas and ambient and forced cooling rooms, as well as adding a complete new production line. The existing mechanical and electrical fit-out was also enhanced to suit.
Mt. Milligan Project
Sacré-Davey performed the feasibility study and detailed engineering for the installation of a network of conveyors and transfer chutes to transport copper concentrate from their existing rail car unloading system to a storage shed.
No. 2 Paper Machine Fourdrinier Table Rebuild
This project includes the detailed design for the No. 2 paper machine fourdrinier table rebuild at Port Townsend Paper. Sacré-Davey staff reviewed the documentation provided by the technology provider, IBS, and integrated the system requirements within the mill. We provided a scope of work construction package that described and detailed the multidisciplinary work and specific requirements for contractor installation.
