Design-Build of Chimneys, Stacks & Flue Gas Path Structures

For new chimneys and flue gas path systems, PULLMAN provides turnkey design-build services. Our in-house engineering team designs for operating and environmental conditions, and works with project teams on liner system selection, material science, and mechanical and electrical integration. Our construction team develops schedules and a detailed quality assurance and control program to ensure an on-time completion.

Design & Engineering

PULLMAN’s in-house engineering specialists design your structure by meshing geographic, geophysical, and thermal data with factors such as loads, operating conditions, wind, seismic, and thermal stresses. We work directly with project teams on liner system selection, material science, and mechanical and electrical integration. Additionally, PULLMAN provides complete design and installation of:

  • Concrete Foundations & Shells
  • Liners & Environmental Systems
  • Access & Platform Systems
  • Electrical & Communication Systems
  • Liquid Collection & Drainage Systems

Construction

When it comes to installation, PULLMAN has developed and deployed the latest technologies for tall concrete construction. For both new construction and repairs, our elaborate framework and rigging systems integrate access, safety controls, and specialty lifting equipment to bring crews, steel, and concrete to incredible heights. Our engineers are active in the development of international design codes through committees of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and International Committee on Industrial Chimneys (CICIND).

PULLMAN uses one of two methods to build and access tall, concrete structures:

  • Slipform construction is a faster method for compressed schedules. The construction platform rises a few millimeters at a time while crews continually place reinforcing steel and concrete 24 hours a day.
  • Jumpform construction is the most common method. It utilizes a climbing derrick to form and pour the concrete wall in sections that are typically about 7’6” high. For each new section, the wall thickness and diameter is precisely adjusted to conform to the approved design.
