Unique Challenge



The Cianbro team faced a rigorous schedule to complete construction activities ahead of the scheduled 42-day outage in order to go on-line with the new process all while working in a fully operational facility. Innovative construction techniques and extensive planning enabled the project team to complete as much work as possible prior to the main outage in order to minimize work and duration of the outage.
