The scope of the job not only included dismantling two General Electric turbines and four high-pressure steam boilers – complete with emission systems and coal handling systems – but also demolishing the building complex that housed the power plant.

Southern Industrial and D.H. Griffin performed the $12-million job as a joint venture. Southern Industrial- and Southern Crane-owned vehicles used on the project were a Terex T560 60-ton truck crane, a Grove TMS900E 90-ton truck crane and a GMK5120B 120-ton all-terrain crane.

The 80-megawatt GE coal-fired power plant once fueled an R.J. Reynolds cigarette manufacturing facility in Tobaccoville, N.C. Southern Industrial originally installed the power source for the company in 1985.

“This still-productive power system could have just rusted to pieces, which would have been a shameful waste of valuable resources,” said Rocky Springer, vice president of Southern Industrial. “We were excited that the plant could be put to good use somewhere else.”

With both the cigarette manufacturing facility and its source of electricity out of service, Southern Industrial and D.H. Griffin were contracted to dismantle the plant and the facility in which it was housed, and then ship the plant overseas to Guatemala. Project work began in May 2008 and will wrap up in June 2009.

“Southern Industrial and D.H. Griffin share a commitment for placing safety first and performing high quality, professional work,” said Earl Johnson Jr., chairman of Southern Industrial. “Tobaccoville is a perfect example of a job that tapped our companies’ respective strengths.”

More than 49 years of dependable and professional service with attention to detail has established D.H. Griffin Wrecking Co. Inc. (DHGW) as one of the leading demolition services companies in the country. DHGW combines experience, specialized equipment, technical expertise and modern safety techniques to get the job done professionally and safely. In October 2007, DHGW was listed as the country’s second-largest demolition firm by Engineering News-Record magazine.

After more than 47 years of business, Southern Industrial Constructors and its subsidiary, Southern Crane, have made “Working Together Safely” the cornerstone of their operations. The companies serve as industry and community leaders, taking pride in providing their services with safety, integrity, quality workmanship and responsive customer care.

Founded in 1962, Southern Industrial provides a wide range of services throughout the Southeast, including turnkey industrial construction, industrial electrical construction, turnkey plant installations and relocations, rigging, millwright and machinery moving services, process and utility piping, precision concrete construction, structural and specialty steel fabrication and erection, and complete plant maintenance services.

Southern Crane provides state-of-the-art crane and rigging services, and is a leader in a national safety movement to encourage the certification of all crane operators. All of Southern Crane’s operators are CCO certified.

Because of their exemplary safety records, both Southern Industrial and Southern Crane are recognized as STAR contractors by the N.C. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Division.
