CFZ™ Commercial Demonstration Plant: Shute Creek, WY
|
Turner Industries has been awarded project work with Rust Constructors Inc. on the CFZTM Commercial Demonstration Plant for ExxonMobil Upstream Research (Owner) in Shute Creek, WY. Engineering and equipment procurement was performed by URS/Washington Group at their Denver office. The Turner Industries’ Houston (Pasadena) office is the point of contact for this contract which includes modular fabrication, pipe fabrication and field construction.
The Turner Industries’ portion of the project work includes pouring 2300 cubic yards of concrete, the installation of 27,000 feet of pipe, the setting of 22 modules, the electrical and instrumentation work, the painting, and the insulation.
Twelve of the modules are being fabricated in the Turner Industries Port Allen fabrication facility. The largest of these modules is 113 feet tall and weighs 350,000 pounds. It will be shipped to Wyoming in one piece. The balance of the modules are vendor supplied skids, compressors, fin fans, mole sieves, and the like. Additionally, the Houston pipe fabrication shop is fabricating approximately 2800 spools of pipe for both ISBL and OSBL.
Pictured is the civil crew pouring foundations. They are sitting on the foundation upon which the largest module will sit. Located 280 miles northwest of Cheyenne, WY and more than an hour from the nearest town where there is a concrete batch plant. Therefore pouring concrete presented a challenge and retarders and accelerators had to be added to the concrete. The remote location also called for careful field planning to facilitate the delivery of the construction material needed to execute the work.
Turner Industries’ employees have performed 50,000 work hours with no recordable injuries. A corporate safety audit conducted on-site by the client, reported that all the crafts personnel stated that “Safety is their first priority’ and “they are living Safety with every task.”
The field construction shut down for the winter on December 19th and will reconvene mid to late March, depending on the weather. Meanwhile, modular fabrication will be ongoing at the Port Allen facility.
