Project:
Replace Z Rails at Space Launch Complex 40
(SLC-40), Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida
|
|
 |
| Contractor: Sunshine
Construction and Engineering, Inc.
Engineer: AJT & Associates, Inc.
Description: Under this subcontract,
Met-Con was tasked to remove and replace the support rails for the Mobile
Service Tower at SLC-40. Duties included surveying the existing rails,
demolishing them, setting the new anchor bolts, securing them against
movement while foundations were poured, placing the leveling plates, and
laying out and setting the new rails, all to a tolerance of three decimal
places. A unique system of leveling bolts was installed to give the client
the flexibility of later raising the leveling plates to compensate for
anticipated settling of the rails. The work was accomplished using multiple
shifts working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The project was completed
ahead of schedule and in less than 60 days, resulting in early completion
bonuses for both Sunshine and Met-Con. |
