At Mallinckrodt's North Carolina facility, this project centered on the installation of new #3 and #4 hammer mills to upgrade the site's processing capabilities. The scope included all supporting infrastructure: pneumatic conveying systems, instrumentation, packaging stations, new foundations, and the structural steel needed to support the equipment. Our team carried the work from installation through integration, testing, and commissioning, delivering fully operational systems.

The Challenge
The defining challenge of this project was keeping Mallinckrodt's existing plant fully operational while construction took place alongside it. Every phase of work had to be carefully planned and sequenced so that production was never put at risk.
What We Did Differently
Civil work took place immediately adjacent to the existing facility, demanding precise excavation, foundation installation, and concrete placement within an active manufacturing environment. When multiple significant rain events hit during construction, proactive storm preparation and site drainage management kept the schedule on track. Structural steel included several tie-in points with the existing building, so we relied on detailed field verification, precise fabrication, and tight coordination between engineering, fabrication, and construction teams to ensure proper fit-up.
Restricted access made equipment and pneumatic conveying installation a logistical puzzle of its own. Our crews used cranes, forklifts, aerial lifts, and specialized rigging techniques to safely set equipment, piping, and structural components in place. Through thorough planning, close coordination, and a steady focus on safety and quality, the team delivered the work with minimal disruption to plant operations.
