Challenge
Safety and employee wellbeing were project priorities, as well as ensuring that the mill complies with current NFPA safety regulations and is easier to clean/maintain.
Solution
The facility was designed for optimal safety and complies with NFPA standards with features such as all legs being located outside and pressure relief venting in required areas. The facility design also minimizes dust ledges by using tube steel for all structural steel in the mill and loadout tower, while providing space and access around equipment to enable easy maintenance and housekeeping.
