HFT to upgrade Owens Corning facility in Utah
HFT has been contracted to upgrade Owens Corning’s 300,000 ft2 fibre glass production plant in Nephi, Uah.
The focus of the project is to expand the plant’s capabilities to be able to produce a broader range of building insulation in the future and include modernisations and upgrades throughout the production line.
Work is to be completed in the first half of 2023.
Work on the Nephi facility will include furnace, forming, civil/foundations, buildings, offices and utilities, as well as relocation of production equipment from another Owens Corning facility to the Nephi site.
In addition to equipment integration, the project will include structural, mechanical, electrical, and building upgrades.
Bringing expertise in not only the insulating fibre process line but also the site/civil, buildings and MEP, HFT will provide a single-source fully integrated project solution, reducing risk and increasing project efficiency.
“This partnership with a company of Owens Corning’s stature highlights the quality of work HFT is known for throughout the industries we serve,” says HFT President and CEO Mark Piedmonte. “The range of plant upgrades we’re undertaking is broad. When we finish, Owens Corning’s production capabilities at the site will be significantly expanded and modernised.”
