On site civil work:

Design foundations for lime silo, and for future sodium bicarbonate silo.
Advise client of area required, and required density of any backfill.
Client to remove any existing foundations and backfill with required density of fill.
 Excavate and install foundations, c/w embedded silo anchor bolts.

CIVIL WORKS
Solid foundation earthen material is assumed to be found at an average depth of 2’-0”
from grade.
Scope of work to be in accordance with foundation design drawings, and to include:
Silo Foundation Pad:
• Excavation of existing earthen material up to 36" deep. Additional removal of
another 12" of material around perimeter max for 30’-0" x 30’-0" wide footing.
• Installation of 12”-24" of compacted rock under pad inside perimeter footing.
• Installation of qty 4 x #6 bar in footings, and two mats of #4 bar on 24" centers
for pad. (To be confirmed with foundation design drawings)
• Concrete to be 30' x 30’ x 24" deep pad and 30” wide x 30” deep footing at the
outside of the pad. (To be confirmed with foundation design drawings)
• Silo Pad. Installation of 4,000 (psi) mix cement with a broom finish at a finish
height of 4" above grade. (To be confirmed with foundation design drawings)
• Installation of two 10' x 3/4" grounding rods, at opposite corners of the pad.
• Ground cable (4/0 BARE copper cable) to be buried in concrete,
To be thermo welded to: existing ground grid (location to be determined
at site), each grounding rod, and with a single pig tail for silo connection.
50’ max length allowed.
Grounding for pipe bridge will need to be determined.

Pipe bridge foundation:

• Foundation requirements to be evaluated
Alleviator Support foundation:
• Foundation requirements to be evaluated

• Note: All concrete to be supplied, mixed and delivered to the site by Buzzi at no cost to
STM or foundation installation subcontractor. (Any testing required, if it is required by
contract or governing law, is to be carried out by foundation installation subcontractor.

Schedule:

Silo hold down to use inner flange and hold down clips (like Pryor) so template for hold down
bolts not necessary.

conduit), (or ask shop can they install conduit inside silo)
Qty 4 x 8” Diameter reinforced openings in skirt wall for Feeders. Close to grade level. Location
to be advised.

Do we do threaded to avoid having to paint threaded = $18.73 CS 150#.
Work out details later.
All pipe runs are to be horizontal and vertical.
Supported on existing support steel (where required)
. 1 and 400 ft to Point 2.
Transportation pipe to be supported over the road to north of silo by a pipe bridge.
As simple as possible.
Support for pipe bridge to be simple foundations.
Is it possible to use existing pipe rack? A little longer route, but less work?

Pigging system by STM

Transport pipe access opening,
attachments for pigging operation,
3 pipe cleaning pigs. Same scope as at Festus.

Injection points in two locations:

Point 1) in ducting at cone valve outlet / Kiln baghouse inlet, approx. 200’ from silo.
Injection method = injection lance. Injection points quantity = ONE.
Point 2) into the bucket elevator, approx. 400’ away from silo. One point only, need
alleviator (to separate material from transport air) & RV and/or screw conveyor.
Note: Previously used ID Fan inlet injection point is no longer going to be used.

Injection Lance support box

Located at injection Point 1.
Quantity: ONE
Carbon steel, without insulation or refractory. Maybe we can use the existing support
 box.

Alleviator / Filter Receiver System / De-aerator / Bucket Elevator Transfer Point (to
separate material from transport air at bucket elevator feed)
Qty = 1. Approx dimensions 4 ft diameter x 8 foot tall x 7500 lbs.
Complete with filter and integral receiver hopper to receive material,
Filter receiver, (similar to bin vent on silo at Alpena, larger bin vent than Festus. We
need to work out what to use here.)
Compressed air pulse cleaning
Includes filters and fan. We are not sure if a fan is needed.
Model: STM Model FRIS-100 (just a made up model number)
Material: Carbon Steel
Feeder Screw Motor: 1 kW

Possible Arrangements considered:

 Mount filter receiver at grade on support steel, use screw conveyor to lift material to
approx. 8 – 10 ft? to bucket elevator. Requirement for foundations to be evaluated
 Or mount filter receiver at a higher elevation, possibly hanging from available? Support
steel above, and use rotary valve to drop through chute to bucket elevator.
 NEEDS FURTHER CONSIDERATION.
