This effort included the detailed design and procurement support for a $250 million brownfield through-air-drying (TAD) tissue machine installation. The facility design included all processes necessary to produce premium quality parent rolls. This project was the last of four machines planned for the site, with all four machines being the same model and manufacturer with subtle process enhancements from one to the other. Leveraging design deliverables from the previous projects, a significant portion of the machine facility design deliverables were duplicated from the earlier projects using a custom computer scripting process. This novel process, explicitly created for this client and project, resulted in substantial engineering cost savings. In addition to engineering services, construction support was also provided, including lump sum bid package development and bid process administration.
