Pressed Solids Tower

Greensboro, NC

Project Owner: EcoLab

Designer: Technical Associates Process Systems/Walter Robbs Callahan & Pierce

The ten-story tower designed by Technical Associates of Atlanta, Georgia and Winston-Salem-based Walter Robbs Callahan & Pierce Architects produces a pressed solids product for Ecolab. The project included liquid tanks for product, jackets, agitators, and dump stations along with dry powder bulk bag unloader stations, dry powder hoppers, filters, and ribbon mixers.  An aspect of the project that we don’t often encounter is obtaining approval from the FAA. The requirement was mandated because of the tower’s height (+/108’) and close proximity to the Greensboro airport.
