The segment is titled "Mega Movers Giant Oil Equipment." TEI is part of Curtiss- Wright's Flow Control segment.
The History Channel documentary follows the movement of a new FCCU from fabrication in Channelview, Texas to a St. Paul refinery.

The documentary records the movement of the FCCU from our fabrication facility in Channelview, Texas through the Port of Houston Terminal where it is loaded on a deck barge and shipped to the St. Paul refinery. After 30 days on the water, the reactor is rolled off the barge and moved to the refinery where it is prepared for installation. The History Channel chronicles all the events necessary to move this large reactor vessel over 2,400 miles from Texas to Minnesota.
"We are very proud of the accomplishments of our TapcoEnpro facility," said Martin R. Benante, Chairman and CEO of Curtiss-Wright.
