Project at a Glance

Project Overview

Scaffolding, Refractory & Mechanical Support at a Georgia OSB Mill

Elite Industrial was engaged to provide scaffolding, refractory, and mechanical support for a major project at a large OSB manufacturing facility in Georgia.

The project involved several stages of work, including scaffolding construction, demolition of existing refractory, and the removal and replacement of approximately 1,600 square feet of roof metal. The team also installed approximately 100,000 pounds of new refractory material.

With multiple activities requiring coordination, the project needed to be completed safely and within a defined schedule to support the plant’s return to operations.

Led by Project Manager Bobby Cason III, with Jimmie Grimes as a key contributor, Elite Industrial worked alongside Elite Refractory and Southern Welding to deliver the project.

The team completed the work 12 hours ahead of schedule, allowing the plant to resume operations 12 hours earlier than planned.

Scope of Work

Industrial Scaffolding

Construction of scaffolding to provide access to the work areas and support the demolition, roof replacement, and refractory installation activities.

Refractory Demolition

Removal of the existing refractory materials to prepare the affected areas for the new installation.

Roof Metal Replacement

Removal of approximately 1,600 square feet of existing roof metal, followed by the installation of new metal to replace the affected sections.

Refractory Installation

Installation of approximately 100,000 pounds of refractory material as part of the project scope.

Mechanical Support

Mechanical support throughout the project to assist with the different phases of work and keep activities progressing.

Execution & Project Coordination

The project required several specialized activities to be completed within a defined timeframe.

Work began with the construction of scaffolding and demolition of the existing refractory. Once the demolition was underway, the team moved into the roof replacement phase, cutting out approximately 1,600 square feet of existing metal and installing new metal.

The project also involved the installation of approximately 100,000 pounds of refractory material, requiring coordination across the different work activities.

Through effective coordination and a focus on safe execution, the team maintained progress throughout the project and completed the work ahead of the scheduled deadline.

Before & After

Safety Without Compromise

Safety remained a priority throughout the project.

With scaffolding, demolition, roof metal replacement, and refractory installation all involved, maintaining safe working conditions was essential.

The project was completed incident-free, demonstrating the team’s ability to deliver specialized industrial work while maintaining a strong commitment to safety.

What Made This Project Exceptional

Multiple Specialized Services

The project brought together scaffolding, refractory, and mechanical support to deliver several interconnected phases of industrial work.

Large-Scale Refractory Installation

Approximately 100,000 pounds of refractory material were installed as part of the project.

Extensive Roof Metal Replacement

The team removed and replaced approximately 1,600 square feet of existing roof metal.

Ahead of Schedule

The project was completed 12 hours ahead of the deadline, allowing the plant to resume operations 12 hours earlier than planned.

Incident-Free Execution

Despite the range of activities involved, the team completed the project without a safety incident.

Results & Impact

The project brought together scaffolding, refractory, and mechanical support to complete a significant scope of work at an operating industrial facility.

By completing the project 12 hours ahead of schedule, the team helped the customer bring the plant back online earlier than planned.

The successful execution demonstrated the value of coordinating specialized industrial services under one team while maintaining safety and schedule performance.

Customer Impact

Completing the project ahead of schedule allowed the OSB manufacturing facility to begin operations 12 hours earlier than planned.

The coordinated delivery of scaffolding, refractory, and mechanical support helped bring the different phases of work together while maintaining an incident-free project.
