Update– Baghouse Project Moran Iron Works fabrication of baghouses is in mid stride, with 9 of 24 of these massive units truck shipped down the high wire corridor to our deep water port. Upon arrival they are test fitted together and inspected by a team of Certified Welding Inspectors (CWI). The mere weight of this project, with each module weighing at upwards of 140, 000 to 160,000 pounds, has required MIW to install a new hydraulic lifting system in a designated bay in the shop area. This improvement to enhance safety and stability during the truck loading process has become a vital tool in progressive performance for MIW, giving us an edge with advanced processes and leading edge technologies. The completion date of the 24 baghouses in Phase II is the summer of 2013, with eight more baghouses in Phase III scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2013.

MIW Logistics Department The last barge pulled away from the dock of our deep water port during the third week of October, officially ending our barge shipping season for 2012. This year we set a new standard with 11 barge shipments throughout the Great Lakes region. This logistics resource sets us apart from our competition with ease of delivery and large modular sizing, eliminating costly onsite fabrications. We eagerly await the commencement of our barging season in the Spring 2013.
