JBW was retained to provide steel structure foundation design and engineering support for a new 115 kV substation and approximately 10 miles of associated transmission line. JBW’s primary scope focused on foundation design for the substation structures, which required reinforced concrete foundations to support the electrical equipment and structural steel. Because foundation reaction data was […]
JBW was retained by a previous Ethanol facility client to assist in evaluating two of their dust collection systems, to verify that the operation is performing as required under NFPA. JBW performed an on-site airflow test on each of the systems and determined one of the systems was running on the lower end of pickup […]
JBW was retained by a local environmental products manufacturer to evaluate their dryer system and provide a report on the findings. The client was experiencing issues with plugging in the dryer duct and not being able to dry the woodchips during colder months. JBW traveled to the facility and collected airflow and temperature readings on […]
JBW performed a dust hazard analysis (DHA) at a cabinetry shop located in Wisconsin that utilized multiple wood processing equipment, including CNC, Saws, and a Sander.
