Labadie Power Plant Labadie, Missouri
Ameren is a major power supplier to the St.
Louis metropolitan area. All work at Amerens facilities
is
done under the National Maintenance Agreement. Sootblower
Platforms – At Ameren’s Labadie Plant, ACME
Erectors contracted for a number of projects, including
the installation
of steel framing for new sootblower platforms. This work
consisted of installing structural steel to create four
new platforms
in a highly congested area of the plant. The work required
the modification of existing platforms, stairs and handrails
to allow the new platforms to be installed at the elevations
required for access to the sootblowers. Coal Unloading
Hopper
Rehabilitation – ACME was awarded a contract for the
rehabilitation of the coal-unloading hopper for the plant.
The scope of this rehabilitation consisted of removal of
existing wear plates to allow for the sandblasting and painting
of
the structural framing, the installation of new wear plates
and the repair of stress fractures on the remaining framing.
Due to the necessity of keeping the generation station in
service, this work was accomplished on a very tight schedule
which involved very close coordination with other crafts
involved
during the shutdown.
