Overcoming Poor Weather Conditions in Michigan to Lift 12 Components
Using the 1,400-ton Demag CC-6800, Deep South set 12 components at a mining facility in Michigan over the course of 5 months. The components ranged in weight from 85,000 pounds to 100,000 pounds. Despite very poor weather conditions, this project was completed on time and in budget.
Pictured here is the first ore bin hopper, which was 100,000 pounds and set at a 282' radius.

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.

In the Southwest, Deep South received three vessels from a heavy lift ship at the Port of Houston, barged the vessels, and transported them to final staging using a total of 124-axle lines Scheuerle SPMT. The heaviest vessel weighed 1,800,000 pounds and the total gross weight at transport for that vessel was 2,300,000 pounds.
