Reklaim
The first phase of this project entailed constructing a 39,200-sq. ft. tire reclamation processing plant on a five-acre site. The plant is the first of its kind and represents a state-of-the-art, fully automated facility for conversion of waste tires to valuable products. McKinstry provided additional Transition to Stabilized Operation (TSO™) services to the client facilitating the smooth transition of the plant from construction to full operation.
McKinstry wrote the plant’s Operating Plan, the Operating, Emergency and Maintenance Procedures, the Engineered Maintenance Plan, the Safety Plan and Safety Handbook, the Training Plan, and the detailed training guidelines and examinations for each of the plant’s operational procedures.
McKinstry also acted as the Owner’s commissioning agent, ensuring that plant equipment was correctly installed, started up, and properly commissioned. This included the development of functional performance testing criteria and the complete integrated testing requirements, as well as providing proof of performance. In all of these roles the McKinstry team was diligent in their efforts to verify and validate plant operations and to meet the Owner’s stringent quality requirements.
McKinstry’s TSO services not only enabled the client to smoothly transition to stabilized plant operation, but their work on the Operating Plan allowed the Owner to expedite the permitting process both with the Oregon State Department of Environmental Quality and other authorities with local jurisdiction.
