RockTenn, one of the leading manufacturers of paper and liner board in the United States, operates a large paper manufacturing facility in West Point, Virginia. The facility includes two power boilers and two recovery boilers which produce steam and electricity to support the facilities manufacturing requirements. These boilers require annual outages for inspections and repairs to ensure they are in optimum operating condition.
