Concrete Kiln Replacement

2021
Western Mechanical
Scope
  • Replacing a 53 ft section of 10 ft dia. concrete kiln, weighing 75,000 lbs.

  • Client was initially quoted for removing the roof of the building and lifting the kiln from above with a crane. Western Mechanical revised this by using gantries, and carting the kiln sections through the 13 ft entrance.

  • Began with a site visit to take measurements, then modelled the site using Inventor and AutoCAD. 

  • Iteratively constructed a process due to extremely tight tolerances, minimizing process time by configuring equipment properly, bringing awareness to problems and interferences, and fabricating custom equipment for the job.

Skills
  • Spatial Awareness
  • 2D & 3D Modelling with AutoCAD and Inventor
  • Problem-Solving
  • Attention-to-Detail
