Major Redesign Helps Float America's Largest Casino Boat
By Don Doherty
In all their years in business, International Piping
 Systems (IPS) has taken on all types of
jobs. There were a few characteristics
about this one,
however, that distinguished it
from the others. For example,
Greg Maus, IPS’s lead man
on the project, was very
involved before any detailed
drawings were made — even
before the owner officially
hired IPS. He and a couple
others in his firm had meetings
with the marine architect,
in Seattle, Wash., and
the shipbuilder, in Boca
Raton, Fla., flying from one
coast to the other to assist in
a late-inning series of value engineering and planning
meetings to find a ship
design and related equipment
package the owner
could afford. next >>
