Working in active storage facilities requires daily coordination with plant operators to establish approved activities in the work areas. Existing underground piping and poor soils combined with a high water table complicated the deep excavation on this project. The protection and safety of the existing process piping was a major challenge. Simpson & Brown worked with the design team on value engineering items to eliminate underground piping. Piping was changed to above ground and pile-supported pipe supports carried product lines. This resulted in large savings for the owner with minimal interruptions to existing active daily operations.
