VCCM Support Structure
Project type
Mechanical Engineering
Date
September 2024
Location
Mississippi
Giles Innovative Products, LLC engineered, designed, fabricated, and oversaw the partial installation of a vertical casing machine (VCM) support structure and embed for a remediation project in Mississippi.
The project included a robust support structure comprising an embed assembly, machine base, and seat weldments, all designed to handle significant operational loads while meeting customer standards. The foundation remediation involved precise preparation, including cutting keyways and pouring high-strength concrete.
The assembly incorporated 28 two-inch socket head cap screws torqued to exact specifications, providing a total clamping force exceeding 3,000,000 lbf. Advanced simulations and engineering analyses validated the structure’s performance, achieving a safety factor of 4 and significantly reducing the risk of upset conditions.
This project highlights GIP's expertise in delivering durable, precision-engineered solutions for complex industrial applications.
