Aiken, South Carolina (openPR) 1 October 2010

What would you do if you had an impossible dream? Would you call a company known for innovative solutions! Impossible to manage for their project, called Baker Concrete KOR-IT their challenge.


Background

Since the acquisition of management and operating contract from SRS, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC has over 3,000 jobs created and maintained using a portion of 0 0.615 billion under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for accelerated Cleanup at the site. Baker Concrete Construction, a subcontractor of SRS is committed to the incredibly difficult task of decommissioning of the Savannah River Site nuclear reactors R and P, which were out of service for decades.


Baker Concrete Construction

is used, the sections from -40 to 00 (ground floor) complete with an estimated 97 000 meters of concrete per reactor. All sections of concrete, Baker had to drill to connect multiple 3 “and 6″ diameter core or the hose from the tide line from the pump. After the holes fixed Baker have provided more than 3,000 linear meters of pipes 5 “smooth on T’s, 90′s and the diversion of values take the same load factors. These pipes were on the 3rd session” during stops and take it all the way through concrete pressed. To fill rate monitor uses Baker sophisticated camera systems with the 3 “core drilled them. Sounds easy, right? Of course not!

challenge

Since this is a nuclear reactor, was Baker drilling through concrete floors with 10,000 PSI range thickness “to 4′-7’6, and in many different sizes of bars of reinforcing steel, pipes, conduits, double and triple mats of reinforcing steel No . 11, steel plates, and even I-beams from the start Baker Project Manager were to be realized, they never able to complete task of drilling through this unforgiving environment, so they called on the expertise of the KOR-IT, a leading manufacturer of concrete core drilling technology.

solution

KOR-IT recommended a robust solution for demanding Baker heavy, KOR-IT K-201-HRA, the hydraulic corer, with hydraulic self-transport system. “The food Concrete is as fast as 4″ per minute here, “said Randy Steele, a staff of 34, Baker,” We could not have done this work without this device. “


With

KOR-IT technology, Baker has maintained a small team and stay under budget while drilling holes by 1000 What reactor R and P in the way of KOR-IT threw drills, they have the job and in record time. In the 11 weeks they have been drilling Baker drilled over 85 holes, 6 inches in diameter, some up to 7’6 “deep. The K-201-HRA is drilling 4″ per minute with # 11 reinforcing steel. Baker also KOR-electric, it’s K-102-unit nuclear wall (horizontal) and access holes for the cameras in the ground. To the bit of work to the maximum average power used Baker KOR-IT bit Dresser.

K-201 to 201-HRA-HRAK hydraulic core machine is more difficult in the industry. This animal comes with precision machined control cars, motor 20HP minimum hydraulic system and a transmission-Auto Feed reduce operator fatigue and maximize the efficiency of drilling.
