Construction of three ramp super-portable conveyors for Terra Nova Technologies. The site is located at the Freeport-McMoRan Morenci Mine and supports building mine leach stockpiles to produce copper. The Morenci Mine uses portable ore conveying and stacking equipment to progressively build their leaching stockpiles. These stockpiles are vital components of the mining process, and their efficient management directly impacts copper production. Big-D Heavy Industrial was meticulous in constructing the conveyors, self-performing structural and mechanical assemblies. Each conveyor has a length of over 250 feet and is track-mounted to facilitate their mobility, allowing them to traverse ramps and navigate across stockpiles with ease.

To accommodate the mine’s newly purchased, larger trucks, project was for a 22,000-sf expansion of an existing truck shop and construction of a new a new 11,000 square-foot truck wash building. The Spring Creek Mine truck shop addition also included an entirely new lube maintenance facility. Rio Tinto needed to minimize disruptions to mine operations during construction, so Big-D took a flexible approach and coordinated with the mine’s management. The mine was able to remain in full operation for the duration of construction.

Big-D was selected to complete earthwork, micropiles, structural concrete foundations (mat slabs, piers, slabs), etc. for this monumental, one-of-a-kind facility to extract, process and package molybdenum and rhenium. The MAP facility included eight structures, some as tall as 10 stories. The project was challenged with multiple revisions to the contract drawings during the course of construction making constant communication and coordination with the entire team critical.

Excavation and concrete contract to place over 4,500 cubic yards of concrete footings and foundations at the Kennecott Utah Copper concentrator, including a 2,200 cubic-yard crusher foundation and a three-foot thick mat slab footing. There were also more than 50 other separate footings and foundations for conveyors, steel structures and three small buildings on the Kennecott property. Challenges included placement of large quantities of concrete during the winter at a high elevation and cement shortages during construction.

This confidential project consists of the construction of mining structures, and equipment across two sites – Dry Valley and Soda Springs – to support phosphate mining and phosphorus manufacturing at the Caldwell Canyon mine. The work includes more than a dozen structures, an upgrade to the Ore Stacker at Soda Springs, and construction of multiple design-build facilities.

The F-22 Heavy Maintenance and Composite Back Shop is a 105,232-sf, single-story design-build project built to support industrial production of the F-22 fighter aircraft. The seven-dock, medium-bay fighter aircraft maintenance hangar features aircraft support areas, equipment rooms and an administrative support addition to Building 674. Workers have access to a new media blast booth, paint booth and five maintenance booths. Three maintenance booths are able to convert to paint booths with a simple insert. The facility includes Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection features such as an effective building layout and window and door designs to minimize flying debris risks. Finishes incorporated laminated glazing and hollow steel doors and frames. This facility was built to UFC 4-010-01 standards incorporating mass-notification systems tied into the Hill AFB master system.

I-80 Logistics Center is a Class-A, modern, highly functional industrial park. Construction is phased, with the first phase of buildings measuring 305,760-sf and 283,920-sf respectively. The concrete tilt-up, cross-docked warehouse and distribution facilities have a depth of 420-ft each. Both buildings have been designed to accommodate up to six separate tenants with store-front glass at each building corner and center section. The buildings feature a minimum 32’ clear-height, ESFR fire sprinkler system, minimum 47-dock high-door positions, six grade level loading doors and a total of 65 trailer parking stalls each. The buildings can also be combined to serve a larger user with needs of up to 650,000-sf. Due to the structural engineering needs of this project, it was important to have an architectural firm with a civil root – of which AE Urbia was an optimal fit.

The Williams Energy Administration Building is a new 16,690-st metal building that houses the Gas Plant Control Room and includes offices, cubicle work stations, conference room, employee break room, restrooms, and support spaces. The initial project estimate came in $500,000 over the Owner’s available budget. Big-D worked closely with Williams and the design team to develop value engineering ideas that could reduce costs and bring the project back within budget. The value engineering solutions included removing the blast requirements, re-designed the concrete foundation, changed the pre-manufactured metal building to 26-gauge metal panels, reduced interior finishes, and eliminating flooring and opting for stained concrete flooring.

The Kennecott Truck Shop Expansion was an addition to an existing maintenance facility, also constructed by Big-D Construction. The 106,000-sf expansion extended both ends of the existing shop structure, providing additional space for vehicle repair and maintenance and administrative offices. The addition included 12 service and repair bays with four overhead cranes, two tire service bays, and 16 new offices. This facility was designed to accommodate ultra-heavy-duty vehicles and equipment, including Kennecott’s 300-ton dump trucks, which are as tall as a two-story building. The scope of work also included construction of additional warehouse space for parts storage. The project was completed utilizing the CM/GC delivery method and Big-D collaborated with the Design Team and Owner from preconstruction to closeout.

Big-D Construction was contracted as the Design-Build contractor to lead the complex, multi-phased design and construction of all the facilities and supporting infrastructure for the new Long Canyon Gold Mine. The construction portion of the project included fueling/propane and storage silo pads, leach pond, and construction of 12 pre-engineered metal building structures. The project was completed under budget and ahead of schedule.

Big-D completed the construction of the campus Central Energy Facility in 2016. As part of this project, Big-D installed a Cogeneration system, also known as combined heat and power (CHP) that utilizes a 5 MW natural gas-fired combustion turbine to produce electricity. The waste combustion heat is captured by a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) that, in turn, produces steam for the campus resulting in a more energy efficient means of generating electricity and heat for the campus.

The Salt Lake West Maintenance Facility is new 32,000-sf Utah Department of Transportation maintenance complex that includes two CMU structures – a 21,000-sf maintenance building with repair bays, maintenance bay, parts storage, office, and restroom, and a 11,200-sf salt storage building. The project also included construction of a wash rack, sander rack, vehicle site ramp structure, a dumpster enclosure. Sitework included road/curb/gutter, asphalt paving, entry gates, perimeter fencing, etc. Big-D collaborated with DFCM and UDOT to develop and implement numerous value engineering solutions. The team faced challenges when unforeseen, undocumented soils were discovered during excavation. Big-D, UDOT and DFCM worked closely to find strategies to mitigate, expedite, and resolve the problem.

Sunroc is a supplier of concrete, asphalt, aggregate, masonry block, construction materials. This new facility includes three separate concrete masonry structures: a block manufacturing plant, a retail office/showroom space, and a large storage building. The Plant is an approximately 18,200-sf CMU building that included 18 kilns built out of masonry and installation of manufacturing equipment that completely automates the production of the CMU. The 4,900-sf retail building is a CMU and metal frame building that houses a showroom, dispatch office, conference room, employee break area, and administrative offices. The 4,500-sf storage shed is a CMU building with three large overhead coiling doors to store finished materials manufactured in the on-site plant. During construction, Big-D managed challenges like extensive Owner, design team, and vendor coordination to ensure proper fit for the kilns and unique weather conditions specific to that area of the Salt Lake valley which pose more frequent temperature fluctuations in both winter and summer and constant wind.
