Steam Pipes and Valve Manifold, Menasha Power Plant

Insulated steam pipes and red valve wheels inside the Menasha power plant piping system.
Insulated steam pipes and red valve wheels inside the Menasha power plant piping system.

This piping array is located inside the Menasha power plant on the Fox River in Menasha, Wisconsin. The facility uses insulated steel piping fitted with manual gate valves to route steam or process fluid between mechanical systems. Red-handled valves lines tagged for lockout, a standard industrial safety practice restricting operation during maintenance. Overhead pipe racks and structural steel framing support the distribution network above the plant's operating floor.
