8,830 tons of structural steel, 180,000 linear feet of piping. Over 800,000 direct
workhours were expended, by the subcontractors, in structural, piping, instrumentation,
electrical, paint, insulation and heat tracing crafts. The largest module assembled was
120’ L x 36’ W x 62’ H and weighed 690 tons.
