Equipment Modification

Whether installing an FRP nozzle on an existing pipe line, modifying a tank or adding accessories to an FRP hood or cover, Kenway personnel can assist in the design and completion of your project.  Examples of our services include:

  • Power Plant PipingThe On-the-Run Installation:  A New England power plant was having problems with its cooling water system and needed additional gauges installed to assess the situation.  Kenway Corporation coordinated a (2) man installation crew with a contractor who specialized in "hot taps" so that a series of 2"Ø flanged connections could be installed and the drilled out while the 40 psi cooling water system remained fully operational.

  • Tank Modification:  After a process upgrade a customer realized that their existing tank was not sufficient in order to support the volume of product required.  Furthermore, they had just completed a host of expensive piping modifications and did not want to disturb the lower 4'0" of the vessel.  While the tank could not be increased in height, Kenway Corporation proceeded to design a vessel modification that included a 7'Ø to 12'Ø conical transition and then 8'0" of new 12'Ø straight wall and dome top.  Complicating matters was that these components needed to fit through a 8'0"x10'0" door in the building before they could be brought to the tank site.  Prior to building the components, Kenway Corporation ran through a broad range of design considerations and completed a detailed Finite Element Analysis to identify the critical load areas.  Once the components were complete, Kenway Corporation expert field service crews completed the demolition and new assembly, assuring that installation met or exceeded the specifications.

  • Washer HoodsWasher Hood Additions:  After modifying their process, a pulp mill customer realized they needed to add doors, move lights and change their shower pipe sequencing on an existing bleach washer line.  After gathering all the required field measurements, Kenway pre-manufactured all the required components, including low infiltration splash shields, gasketed doors, and light/window brackets and frames, so that the new equipment could be installed during the facility's maintenance outage.
