IVI designs and fabricates custom steel stacks for a wide variety of applications for customers allover the world. IVI works with customers ranging from the pulp and paper industry to industrial steel foundries.

We fabricate stacks that range in sizes from 8 inch diameters all the way upto 15 feet diameters. Heights range anywhere from couple feet all the way up to over 200 feet.

When first starting a stack project IVI works with our customers to determine the stack location. From there we can determine wind loads and seismic forces that will be acting on the stack.

IVI works with our customers to figure out the correct height and diameter of the stack based on each client’s specifications.

Because stacks are so slender they have a tendency to vibrate as the wind hits themat a critical wind speed. To eliminate harmonic resonance and vortex shedding there are manymethods that can be used. IVI’s standard is to use helical strikes because they tend to be the most economical.

IVI is a complete design build firm which means we can control the design of the stack, the materials that are selected and the level of fabrication. This allows us to provide a superior product to our customers. IVI will do everything from lifting the stack off the truck, to setting in place, to attaching all ladders and crow’s nests as needed.

Before we leave the site, IVI will work with the customer to make sure the stack is running smoothly and meeting all customer expectations.
