Challenges
The biggest challenge while working on this project was the installation of wall insulation and interior wall liner panels due to the fact that numerous large processing equipment had to be in place prior to the closing of the roof and walls of the structure. This made the installation of the final interior components extremely challenging therefore, special tube and clamp scaffolds had to be installed in order to complete this work in a safe and timely manner.
Challenges
A second challenge was ensuring the final design of the roof assembly could reduce thermal conductivity to control snow melt and ice-build up, as the process of creating S02 releases intense amounts of heat up to 40 degrees Celsius. In order to achieve this, we applied R40 X 2 lbs. per square foot close cell spray foam on the Process Building Roof. This foam provided an air tight and gap free barrier, which is resistant to moisture and mold.
Completion
The schedule for completion was extremely fast-paced. Our proposal was submitted in mid-December, construction began in June and was completed in November.
