New Veneer Drying and Stacking Line with New Electrical Room Installation
Goodwin was tasked with delivering the full electrical scope for a new veneer drying and stacking line at a major industrial facility. This project involved a comprehensive package of engineering, equipment supply, installation, and commissioning, executed in parallel with other trades to maintain a tight construction schedule.
The scope included:
- Electrical Engineering and Design for high-voltage distribution and process integration.
- Installation of a new 25KV switchgear line-up, two 3000 KVA transformers, and two 5000A power distribution centers (PDCs), replacing legacy infrastructure that was no longer serviceable 1 2.
- Deployment of eight MCC line-ups, each equipped with variable frequency drives (VFDs) to support motorized equipment across the line.
- Lighting upgrades for both plant and electrical rooms, including emergency lighting systems.
- Power, control, and network wiring for all process equipment, which was under active construction during the project.
Goodwin’s team worked in close coordination with mechanical and structural trades, navigating a high-traffic environment and complex logistics. The project also included detailed MCC layouts and VFD configurations for conveyors, fans, rollers, and blowers, as documented in internal communications and equipment schedules 9.
By adhering to proven procedures and maintaining strong collaboration across disciplines, Goodwin ensured the project remained on schedule and delivered to a high standard of quality.
