Culture at MEG

The diversity at MEG is what distinguishes us from any other company in the industry. Our employees come from a wide array of backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences. Interestingly enough, these diversities are the foundation of our uniformity. Alternatively stated: that which sets us apart, is what brings us together. Maintaining an efficient and successful team involves a number of factors that we strive to incorporate into our environment each and every day. Having worked hard to build our engineering culture to focus on our uniqueness, we believe that it is important to maintain a healthy work/life balance, and that work shouldn’t just feel like work. Having an exceptional office culture is no longer an option, but a necessity. As part of the MEG Advantage, employees enjoy a flexible, relaxed work environment and are encouraged to use the pool table during lunch or take a break from their strenuous tasks and relax in the nap room. The key to happy, efficient, effective employees is to recognize them as people who have lives outside of the office and treat them accordingly. Employees are recognized for their performance and rewarded for their hard work at quarterly team outings. Whether it be a midday boat cruise, lunch at our favorite pizza shop, or an offsite team-building exercise, our outings allow us to grow as a team and reward everyone for their accomplishments and hard work. At MEG we emphasize personal growth, and we’ve created an environment where each employee is empowered to create their own path to success, with the company’s full support. We have a less traditional office space, which allows for a more open and collaborative environment. We consider ourselves a team-first corporate culture, which consistently encourages and implements employee feedback. Although the environment at MEG can be classified as fun, we recognize that work must always get done, but it’s okay to leave a little room for play at times. While we’ve created a remarkable office environment, our employees are not always in the office. Employees go out into the field to do hands on work with our clients. Since we are an industrial engineering consulting firm, there are risks and dangers associated with being out in the field. Maintaining engineering safety and minimizing danger or injury is key. Safety is implemented through the use of PPE (personal protective equipment), because at MEG Safety is ALWAYS in style. We also provide ongoing safety training and practices, so that safety is a priority and danger is not a problem. At MEG Engineering, we have a talented group of individuals focused on helping us achieve our goals. We strive to support our mission and vision by attracting people who share our company values and believe in the positive impact our work has on the communities we serve.

Automated Systems

MEG’s automation and is unique because we’re not bound to a particular brand of products. We’ll develop a solution that’s right for you, matching your specific application with the best technology for the job, regardless of manufacturer. Don’t let an automation company that’s tied to a single brand force you to make compromises you might regret later on. Trust the independent professionals at MEG.
What can automation do for your business? It can: • Improve efficiency
• Increases reliability and machine availability
• Reduce cycle times, and
• Make adding new equipment easier.
In the end, automation saves our customers time, money and frustration. Efficiencies and power savings can be gained in many different ways. The MEG Automation team starts with a thorough analysis of your processes and applications. Then we apply our combined 70 years of experience to design a custom automation system just for you. We bring together, into one seamless operation, various components such as variable-frequency drives, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and others. If you choose, a custom touch screen can be designed that replicates your machine onscreen to give single-point access to all functions. For large, complex operations, we can tailor a computer-based Level II interface to give you “control from on high” of everything in your plant.
We have experience successfully implementing automation solutions for the following industries: • Steel
• Metals and Mining
• Paper
• Medical/Hospital – air handling systems, power distribution
• Water Treatment Plants/Water Pumps

Energy Resiliency

We offer a full line of automatic and semi-automatic tongs, lifters, c-hooks, up-enders, clam shell buckets, reversing valves, water-cooled products and other material-handling equipment for heavy industry. MEG also stocks an extensive inventory of spare parts for repairs. And if you need a custom part, we can manufacture it.
We offer a full line of below-the-hook equipment, including:
• Automatic Tongs
The first choice for gripping, lifting and releasing heavy objects. They provide heavy-duty handling of materials of virtually any size, shape and weight for every type of industry.
• Tongs for Special Applications
Heppenstall offers a number of motorized tongs that not only lift but also rotate products. Powered rotation can be added to any other tong or hook via a motorized rotating crane hook, available in a wide range of capacities.
• Automatic and Motorized Units for Lifting Coils
Coiled products are not a problem for Heppenstall tongs. We offer options for automatic and power gripping in both horizontal and vertical coils, in all dimensions and weights.
• C-Hooks
Cast and fabricated C-hooks are available for single, double or multiple handling of materials in an almost unlimited range of capabilities and sizes.
• Slab-Handling Tongs
We offer a complete line of automatic, semi-automatic and hoist-operated slab-handling tongs that handle a wide range of slab weights and sizes. Their superior quality has been put to the test through years of service throughout heavy industry.
• Coil Up-Ender
Gripping with inside and outside shoes, the Heppenstall coil up-ender can take a horizontal coil, lift it and turn it 90 degrees to a vertical position for setting.
• Custom-Designed Tongs
There is no standard tong or C-hook. Every unit we manufacture is either specially designed or customized to handle your particular material handling problem.
• Replacement Parts and Repair Service
We maintain complete facilities for fabrication, machining and heat-treating of Heppenstall material-handling equipment of every kind.
• Clam Shell Buckets
Engineered to handle a wide range and capacity of bulk materials, MEG Heppenstall/Blaw-Knox “lever arm” buckets have their weight distributed out toward the scoops where the digging is done. This achieves better penetration into the material, and the power to close the scoop is multiplied by leverage.

From water-cooled doors to manganese feeders, Heppenstall Blaw-Knox equipment provides better mechanized service tailored to individual operating conditions. Heppenstall and Blaw-Knox have built a reputation as the world’s premier manufacturer of below-the-hook equipment. The combination of high-quality materials, superior design and expert fabrication under tightly controlled conditions results in a product that delivers consistently high performance. Every unit we manufacture is specially designed or customized to handle your particular material handling need. And we’ll be there for continued service and support if your needs changing.

System Analysis

Our exposure to extremely high wheel loads has led us into the moveable stadium roof market. These roofs require many of the same mechanisms and parts as overhead cranes, with which we of course have extensive, well-documented experience. It’s rewarding to know that our work contributes to stadiums that are home to some of the most renowned sports organizations in the country. Rogers Centre (formerly Toronto SkyDome) - MEG provided the mechanical drives and idler wheel assembles for the Rogers Centre, one of the largest movable structures in the world. The roof is comprised of four trussed shell panels. Two are segments of spherical shells and two are circular shells. One spherical shell is fixed; the other three shells are mounted on bodies with steel wheels that ride on steel rails. The driven bogies are powered by electric motors that drive the steel wheels through reduction gearing. The roof is normally in the closed position. To open the roof, the moveable spherical shell panel is rolled on a circular track and parked over the fixed spherical shell panel. The cylindrical shield panels are then rolled on straight tracks to rest over the spherical panels. Safeco Field - MEG provided upgraded wheel assemblies to Safeco Field in Seattle. The ballpark’s one-of-a-kind retractable roof is designed to cover but not enclose, thus preserving an open-air environment. The structure covers nearly nine acres, weighs 22 million pounds and contains enough steel to build a skyscraper 55 stories tall. The three movable panels glide on 128 steel wheels powered by 96 ten-horsepower electric motors. The push of a button closes or opens the roof in an average of 10 to 20 minutes, depending on wind and other weather conditions. The roof is self-grounded in the event of lightning strikes and is designed to withstand up to seven feet of snow and sustained winds of up to 70 mph. The project included detailed engineering and tight tolerance manufacturing of both driven and idle wheel assemblies. Our longstanding reputation in the materials handling industry is a testament to the quality products we produce. When you choose MEG Kinetic Structures, you can trust that your project will be completed to the highest standards. Guaranteed.

DC to AC retro fits conversion.

For years the hoists of melt shop cranes have been driven by DC Mill Motors due to their torque capabilities and robust design. Today’s AC motors have proven to provide reliable operation in some of the world’s most difficult applications and environments. Pairing them with today’s variable frequency drives and PLC controls allow for enhancements that deliver high speed accurate operation while minimizing stresses to the overall mechanical and structural systems. Morgan provided a solution that fits all of SDI’s stringent requirements and then some. This solution included new AC motors, a control house with AFE VF drives, festoon, and cabling. This project with many dimensions and requirements along with a site work plan that would require that this crane be back in service in ten days proved to be a challenging feat that was accomplished ahead of schedule and continues to meet the SDI performance criteria.
