EXCEL is honored to have received the ABC Pelican Chapter’s Excellence in Construction Award for our work on the CF Industries NH3 Green Ammonia project in Donaldsonville, Louisiana. This landmark initiative represents North America's first large-scale facility for producing green ammonia, a significant advancement in sustainable energy.
The project involved significant upgrades to an existing facility, incorporating cutting-edge technology to produce hydrogen using electricity. Our scope of work included fabricating and installing over 32,000 linear feet of piping and erecting steel structures in an exceptionally tight and heavily populated worksite—just 153 feet by 63 feet. Despite these constraints, our team delivered ahead of schedule while maintaining the highest safety and quality standards.
“This project set the bar high for innovation and teamwork,” shared Patrick Kelly, EXCEL’s Construction Manager. “We worked within a constrained space alongside subcontractors and other contractors, totaling around 150 people. Through efficient planning and coordination, we overcame the challenges of manpower saturation and tight working conditions.”
Another unique hurdle was adapting to engineering designs produced in Germany. All drawings were in metric units, which required conversion to standard units. Supervisors worked closely with teams to ensure accuracy, resulting in flawless execution of complex tasks.
The team logged an impressive 72,000 safe work hours, a testament to our commitment to safety and excellence. This project highlights EXCEL’s ability to deliver innovative solutions in challenging environments and marks a pivotal achievement in advancing green energy infrastructure.
We are proud to have contributed to this groundbreaking project and to be recognized by the ABC Pelican Chapter for our role in shaping the future of sustainable construction.
