As Mehmet Yücel Steel Construction, we completed a 1,100-ton steel construction project for the Erciyes Alçı (gypsum) factory. This was a complex industrial facility project encompassing the structural steel systems of 8 separate tower buildings that house different stages of the gypsum production process.
We built a total of 8 steel towers at the facility. Five large-scale towers formed the Calcination, Furnace Outlet, Grinding, Semi-Finished Product, and Packaging buildings. The remaining 3 towers were designed in more compact dimensions as the Stone Crushing, Pre-Grinding, and Calcite Silo buildings. Each tower's structural steel system was individually engineered according to its load-bearing and equipment requirements.
Within the project scope, we fabricated silos and bunker structures of various sizes: six 180 m³ silos with 450 cm diameter, two 200 m³ silos with 560 cm diameter, and seven above-packaging silos with 450 cm diameter. Additional bunker and silo structures in various sizes were included in the furnace outlet, calcination top, and grinding tower sections.
We fabricated and erected a 200 cm diameter, 30-meter-tall steel chimney across the facility. Industrial piping lines were laid between the furnace outlet and calcination sections. All fabrication was carried out in compliance with EN 1090-2 steel structure and ISO 3834-2 welding quality standards.
