From this audit, a baseline condition of the plant’s facilities was established, and a restoration/maintenance plan was setup for each of the three sites: Central Plant, Desert Breeze Plant, and Laughlin Plant. <more>

Tri-mill RBI initiative - Canfor Pulp Partnership - Pulp & Paper

A multi-year initiative was setup to prioritize maintenance goals at three Canfor Mills in Prince George, British Columbia. The client performed a comprehensive, proprietary risk-based inspection (RBI) & reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) program to identify key maintenance issues. Our expertise and knowledge in: corrosion and materials engineering; damage mechanisms; fitness-for-service technology was used to address the items in order to reduce maintenance costs and improve equipment reliability. <more>

MDC Watermain Life Study - Malcolm Pirnie and MDC - Water Supply

A Field Test and Analysis Plan was developed and implemented to study soil and pipe conditions within the water distribution system. Next, the test and analysis plan was used to assist Malcolm Pirnie and the MDC (Hartford) in development of "Life Expectancy Curves" for the MDC's Water Distribution System. <more>

Bleach Plant Rehabilitation - Boise Paper - Pulp & Paper

The original design of the bleaching stage towers, vats and chests were reviewed and compared to the new operating conditions. Based on the process design changes and deterioration from 30 years of service, remediation and corrosion protection measures were developed for installation. Construction procedures were audited for quality assurance and adherence to the drawings and specifications. <more>

Wachusett Aqueduct - MWRA - Water Supply

The original brick-lined-concrete arch aqueduct was constructed in the late 1800's and was undersized for the new flow demand. The aqueduct was retrofitted using a reinforced concrete lining system over its entire length of 4 miles. The new design provided over 150% more flow capacity, which exceeded the present day demand. <more>
