CAPACITOR FOUNDATION
Fairbanks Mill, Inc. was selected to install the concrete foundations for a new capacitor assembly at this 20 megawatt wood chip facility. Safety was paramount as this work was performed within the existing high voltage switchyard. In order to minimize downtime, the concrete formwork and reinforcing steel cages were prefabricated at the FMI shop. At the site, these prefabricated assemblies were set using a small excavator.
