Description:
This 65,200 sq. ft. combined cycle plant, built in eastern Ohio, houses three gas turbines and one steam turbine. Butler Heavy Structures provided a hybrid structural steel framing system that incorporated both conventional and pre-engineered components for the Gas and Steam Turbine buildings. Butler Manufacturing’s standard product line was used for the structural steel and cladding systems on the complex’s ancillary buildings.
Welded-up, stepped-crane columns were used in both the Gas and Steam Turbine buildings to support top running cranes of 61 tons and 78 tons respectively. Framing in the Gas Turbine building was complicated by a 50' roof step and heavy support framing for three large filter house units on the roof of the low bay.
An MR-24® standing seam roof system and Butlerib® II wall system manufactured by Butler were used on all of the buildings.
