Value Delivered
Southern Industrial Constructors (SIC) performed structural, mechanical, and electrical work for this concentrator facility project. The client asked SIC to work on an expedited, fast-tracked schedule in order to complete the project a month early. To meet this timeframe, our team worked 70 hours for each of the job’s final four weeks. From setting the first module to startup and commissioning, the project lasted a total of three months.
We have worked with the client on several previous projects, including installation services for a trommel and concentrator system at their Concord, VA site. This concentrator facility is the largest job we’ve completed for them.
