PMI IS IN THE PROCESS OF
INSTALLING A 1000 TON PRESS
Our first step in the process of
the 1000 ton press installation is to dig a hole 17
feet deep, and 25 foot by 25 foot. Then we
poured the floor with concrete and re-enforced
rebar. Up to this step, this has taken three
days.
These are the uprights for the
press that we are re-conditioning.
The next step of our process is
putting re-enforced rebar to get ready for the walls
to be poured. There is over 1 mile of rebar,
and it will take 130 yards to pour the walls with
cement.
Here they are re-enforcing the walls before the pour
with 2x12's cross bracing every 18" all the way to
the top to re-enforce the walls to prevent
collapsing when the cement is poured.
Here we are pumping cement for the
walls.

of the press. The weight is 120,000 pounds.
(WOW, WHAT A TRUCK)
There was three other trucks
involved in the convoy which carried the base which
weighed 64,000 pounds, the ram which weighed 40,000
pounds, and a truck with miscelanious parts.
At the same time that we were
pouring the walls, we were unloading the trucks
which will take two cranes. The following
pictures will demonstrate how we coordinated this
all happening the same day.
(GREAT PLANNING)
