Pulp & Paper
Installation of a New Coated Recycled Paperboard (CRB) Machine
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.
Pulp & Paper
Building of a Greenfield Tissuemaking & Converting Campus
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.
Pulp & Paper
Expansion of Converting Capacity with 4 New Production Lines
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.
Pulp & Paper
Headbox Replacement on Paper Machine #2
CR Meyer was contracted by the equipment manufacturer to replace the headbox on Paper Machine #2 at a customer in Menominee, Michigan.
Pulp & Paper
New Sump Pit, Piping & Pumps for Woodyard Improvements
Our customer needed water, air, and sanitary piping for their woodyard improvements. CR Meyer was responsible for the deep excavation, all rebar and concrete for the base/walls of the sump pit, all the piping, and the installation of two bar screens and two pumps.
Pulp & Paper
Installation of a Coated Board Machine & OCC Plant Upgrade
CR Meyer was awarded the installation of a Coated Board Machine. This project included all aspects of the machine erection including alignment and on-machine piping. The new paper machine was connected to the existing mill with a 600 ft roll conveyor. CR Meyer also completed an upgrade to the existing OCC plant.
Food & Beverage
Design/Build of a New 66,600 SF Office and Distribution Center
Tri County Distributors needed a new facility to accommodate their rapid growth and meet standards set by Anheuser-Busch. The center was designed to create a plant work environment conducive to communication and teamwork. With 54,400 square feet of distribution area and 12,200 square feet of office space, the project was fast-tracked.
Hydro/Power Generation
New 20 MW Combined Heat and Power Plant
Installation of a new 20 MW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant for the Chesapeake Utility Corporation at the Eight Flags Energy Amelia Island plant in Fernandina Beach Florida. Awarded CHP Project of the Year in 2016.
Hydro/Power Generation
New Higher-Capacity Powerhouse
Our hydro/power customer needed to replace aging generating units at their Iron Mountain hydroelectric facility with a modern, higher-capacity powerhouse — a $64 million project that combined heavy civil construction, precision turbine installation, and complex waterfront work on an active energy site.
Hydro/Power Generation
Steel Liner Replacement in Three Hydroelectric Spill Tubes
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.
Hydro/Power Generation
Turbine/Generator Installation and EPC Construction
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.
Mining
Historic Mill Renovation and New Mine Facility
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.
Mining
New Infrastructure & Increase to Material Conveyance Capacity
A mining customer needed to replace aging infrastructure and increase material conveyance capacity at their Drummond Island quarry operation. The solution required civil, structural, and mechanical construction across a working mining site, delivered on a compressed timeline.
Mining
New Baghouse, ID Fan & Stack for Dust Collection
CR Meyer was responsible for demolition of the old dust collection equipment and installation of a new ID fan, stack, baghouse, and all related foundations.
Mining
Design/Build of an Automated Sand Screening Plant Addition
The Owner needed additional sand screening capacity at their Western Wisconsin mine. CR Meyer was tasked with laying out the process, designing and constructing the equipment supports and foundations, designing and constructing the buildings.
