Fiat Chrysler America Truck Plant Conveyor, Warren, MI

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Degenkolb supported the FCA Warren Truck Plant by designing and coordinating the support steel for numerous conveyor systems, including repair spurs, inclines, declines, and friction drives. We also provided the layout and design of the conveyor screenguard. Our scope included delivering design documentation depicting member sizes, cross-sections and elevations, connection details and “kip load” drawings.

Also included in our scope of services was the preparation of a comprehensive set of shop fabrication drawings of all conveyor support steel and screenguard, including repair spur modules, support headers, hangers, braces, tees, and handrail stanchions. Installation drawings included plan views, elevations, sections, and member piece marks to guide field assembly. To ensure smooth coordination across all trades, our firm collaborated closely with the client to develop typical framing details and delivered a fully coordinated 3D model for integration and clash resolution.
