PQ LLC has hired HFT to design and build its new silicate production line in Augusta, Georgia. The new line will be built on an existing site and will utilize the latest technology to reduce greenhouse gas intensity.
McMurray, Pennsylvania based HFT will serve as engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor on the project, and will begin with detailed engineering, early site work and long-lead equipment procurement in the first quarter 2024. PQ and HFT expect the project to be completed for production to begin in 2025.
This project showcases HFT's ability to deliver a single-source fully integrated project solution. HFT will bring the expertise to execute all elements of the project from site/civil through the process.
