Our Projects
Structures that last are built on strong foundations.
For General Construction, that's not just an engineering principle, it's our business philosophy. Below you will find a listing of some selected projects. Use the menu to the left to view projects by the type of work.
Heating System Upgrade
Everett, Wash.
Due to deteriorating mechanical fittings in the heating system piping at an Everett assembly building, General Construction was given the task of refitting all the mechanical joints with new welded fittings. In order to complete this project within the small window of time available, the majority of the work was done over the 2006-2007 Holiday shutdown.
Production Line Hydraulic System
Everett, Wash.
General Construction furnished and installed this system, which supplies hydraulics to airplanes during assembly. The primary components include a 1,500 gallon stainless steel storage tank and 6,600 feet of stainless steel pipe. The piping installation required more than 850 welded connections, many in difficult, awkward, and tight positions.
Skylight Installation Project
Everett, Wash.
General Construction was given the opportunity to help modernize and make a airplane manufacturing facility in Everett more environmentally friendly by bringing more natural light into the building. This project included the installation of 25ft x 27ft skylights that are 14ft tall.
Stacker Crane Replacement
Everett, Wash.
General Construction was responsible for installing eight new aircraft painting platforms (stacker cranes) fabricated by OIW. Scope of work included installation of approximately 3,500 lin ft of crane rail, six low bay and two high bay stacker cranes including bridges, trolleys, masts, and platforms. In addition to the structural components, GCC was also responsible for installation of all mechanical, power and controls wiring, as well as full functional test and commissioning of the cranes.
Compressed Air Upgrades
Renton, Wash.
This project included installing a new 3,000 CFM air compressor with two new mist eliminator prefilters, installing a new refrigerated air dryer, and connecting the compressed air piping, cooling water piping, and circulating pumps. Also included were new electrical switchgear installation and power and control wiring.
Napkin Packaging Line Installation
Everett, Wash.
General Construction installed four paper unwind stations, a folder unit, transfer section, wrapper and a new crane. Work was performed around the clock for 14 days in order to meet the client's aggressive schedule.
Paper Machine Fan Pump Drives
Everett, Wash.
Fan pumps supply pulp and a large volume of water to the forming section of a tissue machine. General Construction Company replaced the drives, cabling and motors for three 600 Hp fan pumps. To minimize downtime, we installed and tested new 10,000 lb. Allen Bradley variable frequency drives, new 2,300 volt cabling, tachometer feedbacks and ControlNet interfaces, all while the machine remained in operation on the original system.
Tissue Packaging Line Upgrades
Everett, Wash.
General Construction installed new equipment, relocated existing equipment and replaced electric drives and controls. The electrical and instrument work included 16 new variable frequency drives, a safety interlock system on machine guards, photoeyes and solenoid valves.
Paper Machine Drive Upgrade
Everett, Wash.
When originally installed in 1980, this tissue machine was driven by DC motors to precisely control the speed of rolls and dryers. This project replaced all 42 motors, ranging from 5 Hp to 500 Hp, with AC motors fed by variable frequency drives. General's work included modifying motor bases, installing new motors, installing new solid state drives, and installing cabling and controls. Careful planning along with maximizing pre-shutdown preparation allowed this critical machine to get back online with minimum downtime.
Substation Replacement and Upgrades
Everett, Wash.
General Construction installed 1,500 lin ft of cable tray, five miles of CLX cable, a 15kV switchgear, and 2,300V & 480V substations while mill operations continued normally. As new equipment was brought on line, existing antiquated equipment and feeders were removed from service without interruption to production.
