A manufacturer needed more than a contractor to install a new coated recycled paperboard (CRB) machine. They needed a partner to build an entire 119-acre production campus from the ground up, and deliver it at scale.

Our pulp and paper customer needed more than a construction crew to build their new greenfield tissuemaking and converting campus in Macon, Georgia. They needed a single partner who could deliver an entire production ecosystem — from raw site to fully operational facility — at a scale few contractors can manage.

Our pulp and paper customer needed to expand their converting capacity with four new production lines — and needed a contractor who could coordinate complex, multi-system installations with precision, on time and on budget.

This mining project required construction across two distinct sites in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula — a historic mill renovation and an all-new mine facility — simultaneously, in one of the most demanding winter climates in the Midwest.

This project involved the construction of a new particle board manufacturing facility from a greenfield site. The facility will have a production capacity of 800,000 cubic meters per year - making it the largest particle board plant in North America with the largest 10 ft wide continuous particle board press in the world.

After forty plus years, some of the existing steel located in a calcium chloride facility was getting thin. CR Meyer was tasked with rebuilding the upper steel structure of the D Bulk Hopper which included the conveying equipment and process piping.

Due to age, the existing steel was compromised and there was potential of failure if deterioration continued. CR Meyer was tasked with the demolition and replacement of approximately 1,850 square feet of steel in three spill tubes. Each tube required 1,265 1" holes be drilled ten inches deep for anchor installation.

Since the previous warehouse was not large enough to meet storage needs, the client tasked CR Meyer with the construction of a new 17,000 square foot warehouse to store paper rolls produced from their #1 & #2 paper machines. Increased storage capacity allowed for more flexibility with shipping and eliminated the concern of not being able to protect valuable product.

The Turbine/Generator project required CR Meyer to demolish the existing Salt Cake Towers followed by the construction of the EPC Buildings, Cooling Tower Foundation, Pipe Bridge & Foundation, Piping, and the Electrical Instrumentation.
