Structural Healing

Hydrocarbon Engineering, February 2007

Industrial environments differ markedly from the commercial, public, transportation and residential markets by the sheer aggressive nature of their service. A commitment to continuous improvement often results in the need for new facilities or modifications to the existing facility.

Solid Cures for Concrete Floor Problems

Plant Services, May 2005

Floor slabs must withstand tough conditions such as impact and abrasion from heavy, moving traffic and static loads, and ideally, the floor must be flat, in proper alignment and in good shape. Unfortunately, because of initial construction techniques, or uses and loads that differ from the original design, slab-on-grade floors can develop problems that often result in costly delays or downtime.

Concrete International, January 2005

Natural-draft hyperbolic cooling towers are extremely susceptible to corrosion-induced deterioration. Exposure conditions, and the resulting deterioration, vary depending on a host of factors.

Fire Hazard

Hydrocarbon Engineering, January 2004

In petrochemical facilities, fires when they occur, develop quickly into "pool fires", rapidly reaching 2,000oF (1,100oC) in a matter of minutes. Unfortunately, unprotected structural steel members lose about ½ their strength at 1,000oF (538oC) and rapidly loses more strength as the temperature rises.

Solutions! Magazine, August 2003

Installing and maintaining pump foundations and base plates have always posed challenges to plant maintenance and construction personnel in the demanding pulp and paper mill environment.

Keeping Chimneys Standing Tall

BIC Alliance, June/July 2003

Chimney maintenance can be one of the most challenging of plant MRO activities. Their height, form, and functions make them quite unique from other structures.

World Refining, April 2001

Part 1 of a two-part series: Defined in the simplest possible terms, successful concrete repair integrates new materials with existing materials to form a composite structure that can withstand environmental conditions and operational processes, while at the same time providing extended service life.

World Refining, April 2001

Part 2 of a two-part series: For industrial plants, concrete repair activities pose challenges that are quite different from those encountered in new concrete construction.
