Nine Dragons Paper Holdings – No. 25 Paper Machine
The team worked with mill personnel and Baisch engineers to incorporate constructability and value engineering into the design. A high level of coordination was required to provide designs for installations during pre-shutdown portions of the project, allowing the existing paper machine to continue production until the last moment. This maximized the extent of the pre-shutdown installations and minimized the shutdown duration.
The #25 paper machine rebuild project included work that stretched from the “wet end” to the “dry end.” Boldt was able to deliver the project under budget and several days ahead of schedule.
