Coal Export Facility System Upgrade
At a coal export terminal in Southeast Texas, Deep South provided multiple single and tandem lifts to install this conveyor system during a facility upgrade using the 265-ton Liebherr LTM 1220-5.2, the 400-ton Demag AC350/6, and the 1320-ton Terex AC-1000. Conveyor sections weighed 40,000 pounds to 132,000 pounds and measured up to 170’ in length.

A Flare for Efficiency
Routine maintenance plant turnarounds are typically anything but straightforward—as a turnaround in the Southeast quickly demonstrated. The effort called for the removal and replacement of three exchangers, as well as a flare modular replacement. The size and location of the exchangers, the tight window for replacement of the flare, and localized high working-wind speeds were a few of the top challenges that the Deep South team were tasked to overcome.

Many Lifts, One Solution: Modular Lift System Flexes Hydraulic Muscles During Process Plant Overhaul
Deep South crews were challenged to haul, lift, and set 84 modules, including three towers (one measuring 100’ long, 350,000 lbs.) as well as various pieces of process equipment, such as piping, tanks, PDC buildings, and transformers—all within a tight schedule. Many of the modules had offset centers of gravity further complicating the lift and set.

Extreme Circumstances Call for Extreme Measures: A Narrow Canal Requires a Side Roll-Off
Deep South was contracted to deliver a 750,000-pound reactor to a refinery in northern Illinois. The navigable waterway, a highly-trafficked 125-foot wide canal, required a side roll-off.
