Dow Chemical Company Mayflower EPDM Project
The Dow Mayflower project won the Pelican ABC Chapter Excellence in
Construction award and was runner up for the national ABC Eagle
award. It was also selected by Louisiana Contractor Magazine as one
of its "Best of 1997" Construction Projects.
The Mayflower EPDM Project at Dow Chemical's Louisiana Division
included the construction of a new processing unit, as well as
off-site modular construction consisting of 59 modules, a new
packaging and shipping facility, and the installation of a new flare
stack. ISC was awarded a
negotiated lump sum contract by the General Contractor, Performance
Contractors, Inc. to perform the instrumentation and electrical work
for the project.
The scope of ISC's work for the Mayflower EPDM Project consisted
of the complete installation of instrumentation and electrical
systems for the new processing unit and the new packaging and
shipping facility. ISC was also responsible for the installation of
temporary power systems for the project site and for the off-site
module fabrication yard.
Control Room Instrumentation The control room portion of the
instrumentation system included the installation of a DCS Mod-V
control system, a Bently Nevada vibration system, control room
junction boxes, cable tray, conduit, and interconnecting cables. ISC
was also responsible for all terminations, systems checkouts, and
loop check.
Field Instrumentation The field portion of the instrumentation
system included the field instrument calibration and installation.
Also included were the installation of field junction boxes,
instrument air piping, process tubing, nitrogen purge systems,
aluminum cable tray, rigid galvanized conduit, and instrument
cables. Instrument calibration and loop checks were included in this
work. The following is a breakdown of the items and the quantities
