SILO DISTRIBUTION REPLACEMENT

IA Mechanical was contracted to replace the distribution system in a cement silo. The existing system consisting of screw conveyors were to be replaced with an updated air slide system. The air slide will enable smooth, efficient, low-maintenance distribution of bulk material. IA Mechanical team has a wide range of experience at providing customized mechanical solutions to industrial facilities and their equipment.

REINFORCING DAMAGED SILO ROOF BEAM POCKETS

Multiple roof beam pockets across several silos exhibited particularly severe deterioration. In addition, concrete spalling, delamination, and exposed reinforcement were observed on exterior shells and wall joints of multiple silos. Industrial Access performed recommended concrete repairs and installed an additional steel beam pocket reinforcement system to ensure silo safety and sufficient structural integrity.

FRP LINER BLISTER REPAIRS

A FRP smokestack had been experiencing a multitude of blisters forming on its FRP liner. These blisters were causing liner delamination and putting the liner at risk for more extensive damage. Industrial Access devised a repair strategy to address each of the blisters and patch the liner up to prevent further deterioration and to return the liner to an effective and safer operating condition.

ROOF BEAM POCKET REPAIR IN CONCRETE SILOS

Industrial Access carried out a custom-engineered repair service, delivered to failing roof beam pockets will ensure that the structural steel roof support system has the capacity to carry the expected load and that the silo is structurally sound and safe to operate.

REPLACEMENT OF 14 OVEN STACKS

Food processing facility needed to replace 14 oven chimneys to fit their evolving needs. Industrial Access helped engineer the new stacks, demolished existing ones and installed the upgraded exhaust systems with the new chimneys, roof penetration pans, ducts, and fans. The stacks were designed for efficiency and ease of use, saving time and costs for the client moving forward.

BRICK CHIMNEY EXTERIOR & INTERIOR REPAIR

Industrial access performed an inspection for a 110’ brick chimney that was showing signs of deterioration in exterior brickwork mortar and concrete cap, failing coating on tension bands, and areas of missing liner in the interior.

REPLACEMENT OF THREE STACKS & DUCTWORK

IA Mechanical performed extensive repair services to a 250'-high concrete chimney that was causing safety concerns. IA Mechanical was able to rehabilitate the structure to a safe & stable operating condition.

CONCRETE CHIMNEY REPAIR WITH CARBON FIBER WRAP

Industrial Access performed extensive repair services to a 250'-high concrete chimney that was causing safety concerns. IA was able to rehabilitate the structure to a safe & stable operating condition.

STEEL SILO EXTERIOR REINFORCEMENT

Industrial Access carried out an extensive silo reinforcement strategy that included interior baffle wall removal, reinforcement of the silo and its support structures, and a coating job. IA was able to repair the structure back to its original form.

REINFORCED CONCRETE CHIMNEY FAA COATING

Industrial Access mobilized to clean a reinforced concrete chimney exterior and apply new paint, while the platform and its guardrail received a spot-coating treatment. Regular maintenance ensures the structure is operating safely and efficiently while meeting recommended standards and regulations.
