Customer: An Industry Leading Chemical Company
The Situation: This Customer bought two, 1500 HP compressors and the existing space that these two units were supposed to go into would not fit with the existing location of the motor junction box. The motor and compressor were built and shipped on one skid plate.
The Work: Decatur Industrial reviewed the location of where the junction box currently existed to determine where the Customer would want it relocated on the skid. Safety was the driving force in determining a solution. It needed to be safely accessed by maintenance and use material that would be maintenance friendly as well.
The Solution: Decatur Industrial extended the leads on the motor and used flexible conduit to relocate the leads from the motor box to the back of the skid where the junction box had been moved. Using maintenance friendly materials, we fabricated a stand for the junction box and reconnected the leads to this location.
Cost Savings: Without this result, the other choices would have been to replace the motor entirely or completely rewind it to relocate the leads. This saved the Customer approximately $200,000.
