MODULAR

Modules Project Receives Accolades

CIANBRO CONSTRUCTORS

In 2020, Cianbro was recognized by Engineering News Record (ENR) and Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) for the completed ECU Modules project.

Cianbro constructed 60 modules for seven individual ethane cracking units (ECU Modules) for a brownfield plastic production facility in Pennsylvania. Cianbro constructed the modules at our modular manufacturing facility located in Brewer, Maine along the banks of the Penobscot River. The completed modules were then loaded onto barges with heavy haul transporters and fastened in place onto load spreaders and sea-fastening systems to endure the nearly 40-day ocean transport down the East Coast, up the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers to their final delivery point at the new plant located in Monaca, Pennsylvania.

The project was awarded an Award of Merit from Engineering News Record ‘s New England 2020 Best Project Awards for the energy/industrial category. Additionally, the project received an Excellence in Safety award in the same competition.

ABC of New Hampshire/Vermont also recognized the project as an Excellence in Construction award recipient in the industrial/manufacturing category and ABC of Connecticut honored the project with an Award of Merit.
