During A major storm half the roof blew off there process building that was 60ft tall 100ft x 280ft. We thought of a way to fabricate the roof in sections on the ground and lift with crane to expedite the new install. While doing a major remodel in their distillation building, they had a accident in one of there other plants so we no longer do any hot work inside of building. We had to demo a 80ft x 15ft diameter stainless tank and all piping with Sawzall’s and about 500 blades.
