American Sugar Refining – C&H Sugar – Raw Sugar Dock
The Raw Sugar Dock Project upgraded the unloading process to accommodate the self-unloading vessels that use C&H Sugar’s dock. The arrangement of the new unloading process includes four new mobile hoppers, which feed the new “A” conveyor that runs approximately 500 feet to new bucket elevators, which in turn feeds a new transfer conveyor to the existing scale house.
The hopper assemblies, including all structural steel, stairs and guardrail, maintenance platforms, mechanical, and electrical equipment, were assembled off site. Boldt self-performed the steel, stairs, guardrail, and maintenance platforms. The hopper assembly was performed at the CS Marine site eight miles away. This project was completed in phases to allow dock operations to continue with minimal impact to production capacity. The project also included setting and unloading a hopper on barge transportation to the dock location.
