Power Company Reclaim Stacker & Pump House

Reclaim Stacker

This project involved the installation of a concrete bunker, a cast-in-place tunnel that housed a conveyor belt, a pre-cast emergency escape tunnel, and various foundations that supported the conveyor belt trusses.

The Reclaim Stacker was a below-ground bunker where coal was fed by heavy equipment into two chutes in the bunker lid. The coal was then directed by a conveyor belt through a concrete tunnel to an adjacent transfer tower and subsequently transferred further to the coal-powered generators.

Project Highlights:

• Two transfer towers, conveyor foundations, & support buildings
• Coal Pile Reclaim Stacker
• 35′ x 47′ x 50′ deep concrete vault
• 3′ thick reinforced walls
• 4′ elevated concrete deck
• 15,000 cubic yards of concrete

Coal Pile Pump House

This project involved constructing the Coal Pile Pump House at the Oak Creek Power Plant. The lower half of the Pump House was made of cast-in-place concrete and housed mechanical equipment. The upper level was constructed with masonry partitions clad with metal wall panels and a metal roof on the exterior, which housed all associated mechanical controls for the pump house equipment. The mat slab was 2’-6” thick with conduit and floor drain pumping, walls were 16’-9” tall and 1’-2” thick, and the lid was 1’-3” thick.
