Savage and JEPCO partnered to design, procure and construct a polyethylene pellet loading facility along with supporting infrastructure of a maintenance building, administrative building and relevant utilities for a large gulf coast operator. Savage will own and operate the rail terminal and loading facility.
The picture to the left, is the computer aided 3D design of the entire polyethylene pellet loading facility structure. The photo on the right shows the building facility nearing completion. The loadout facility was designed to load one rail car at time on each of the four tracks. The polyethylene pellets are pneumatically conveyed from inside the operator’s facility, passing through the pipes on the righthand side tower structure (not yet installed in right photo). A baghouse per conveyance line was installed to capture any fugitive dusts. The space between the main load out facility and the tower structure was to allow for a ‘run-around’ rail line. Locomotives can move freely between the entry and exit of the loading facility.
For the JEPCO Team, one of the best parts of our job is to see “lines on paper” become something real.
Thank you to Savage and to our valued client for thinking of us on this project.
