A crane moves a steel beam to be installed at the Uranium Processing Facility Project’s Salvage and Accountability Building. The first phase of structural steel installation will continue over the summer and calls for almost 800 pieces that collectively weigh about 1,500 tons.
Uranium Processing Facility (UPF) Ironworker Robert Burchfield was chosen as Local 384’s Apprentice of the Year and represented the local union at the 30th Annual Outstanding Apprentice of the Year Competition in Atlanta, Georgia, placing third in rebar skills. 11,000 tons of rebar will be used while building UPF.
Two additional cranes have been added at the Uranium Processing Facility site to support steel installation at the Salvage and Accountability Building, and rebar wall curtain placement at the Main Process Building.

Ground wire installation takes place on a communications line at the Uranium Processing Facility Substation.
Structural steel continues to be installed at the Uranium Processing Facility Project’s Salvage and Accountability Building. At 127,000 square-feet, the three-story SAB footprint is approximately the size of one football field.
Construction is almost complete on the Offsite Fabrication Facility located at the East TN Technology Park. This 100,000-square-foot facility will serve as the primary fabrication area during the construction of the Uranium Processing Facility.
Detailing begins on rebar once the walls are up at the Main Processing Building at Uranium Processing Facility.
