Watch Out for Big Cranes

We often see cranes as part of city skylines and construction jobs. The movement and hoisting capacity of these simple mechanical heavy machinery assemblies has to fit typically within engineering requirements for deflection and a space envelope. Our team at Meadows...

Supporting Our Engineering Projects

Jobs are not alway necessarily one and done. Our fabrication, assembly and implementation requires refinements, tweaks and ongoing support. We are onsite today improving some of the design aspects of the Panasonic videoboard at the Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium that...

Solving Custom Material Handling Engineering Problems

When you pass by those large fields of wind turbines generating energy in remote fields, think about how they were put together and placed in their resting locations. The assembly and fabrication process occurs with massive custom material handling equipment. The...

Engineering Efficiencies and Turnarounds

In the 3D solid model renderings above you can see a 48″ O.D. X 15′-0″ Oil Field Test Separator assembly.  Test separators are used in the oil field to process raw material pulled from the ground.  By applying heat and pressure, the raw material is...

Oilfield Base Beam Engineering Analysis

  Oilfield equipment involves heavy machinery, structures and many failure point opportunities. The setup has a lot of uniformity for job sites, but they require engineering work to analyze and safety check the various structures. The large towers that have to...
Do You Know What a Stop Log Is?

Do You Know What a Stop Log Is?

Do you know what a stop log is? They are used at a dam to block the water at one of the gates that control flow over the dam. This allows for maintenance of the respective gate. Stop logs are about 4 feet tall and 16-20 feet wide. They are stacked in channels until...
