Layed out cut lines on existing pipe and new tower. Overseen the transition fabrication piping . We picked up a coke tower ou ,

t of the middle of the unit, Dropped the new tower in place .All my transition rolling offsets i pre fabbed on the ground tacked right in an welded out. Lots of planning!
