Description:
This 80,500 sq. ft. multi-unit complex was built on a fast-track schedule to replace a previous facility destroyed in an explosion. Butler Heavy Structures provided the structural steel and cladding systems for all units, except the Boiler House.
Welded-up, step-crane columns were used in both the Gas and Steam Turbine buildings to support a 65-ton and 85-ton crane, respectively. Framing for the Gas Turbine building was complicated by a 35' roof step and support framing for the large air intake units.
Butler’s MR-24® standing seam roof system and Butlerib® II wall system was used on all of the units, including the 100' tall Boiler House which was designed and supplied by others.
