Feel free to look at we have done for some of our clients: Carter, Holt, Harvey Gaylord Container Corporation International Paper Inter-Uhde Lockwood Green Packaging Corporation of America Pfizer Pharmesicutals Rayonier Sonoco Products Southern Company Services Shering Laboratories Tennessee Valley Authority Uhde-Engenharia Ltda Union Camp Corporation Confidential Client : Confidential Project : Confidential Location : Confidential Volume : 500,000 cu ft Duration : 4 Months Project Description A 3D model was needed for the conversion of this facility from freon production to a new freon alternative product. BE&K Engineering a long-time user of PDMS 3D modeling software, wanted to engineer the project using PDMS. Past experience had shown 3D modeling to be beneficial in reducing engineering errors, providing additional engineering documentation, and reducing down time for modification. The modeling also aided construction simulation and worker familiarization. Scope of Services The 3D model was generated for one-third the cost of manual methods. Additionally, the client verified astounding accuracies on all phases of the plant modeled. The project was completed safely, under budget, and ahead of schedule. Rework was less than .2% of TIC, compared to an industry average of 6% of TIC. Client : Confidential Project : Confidential Location : Confidential Volume : N/A Duration : 1 Week Project Description The project was the replacement of the failing vapor loop between the two existing stills at the client’s plant site. The replacement loop consisted of the connecting pipe (36” Dia.) and the upper half of the primary still. The replacement pipe was constructed of titanium and prefabricated off site. The mating flanges and bolt alignment were modeled using as-built services techniques. Scope of Services The project survey was accomplished in very little time. A Microstation 3D Cad model was then generated of the existing components including the bolt alignment of the mating flanges. Upon installation of the new components it was observed that the mating flange alignment was within 2 mm. The as-built services involvement proved to be a success by reducing shutdown time approximately 75%. Client : Confidential Project : Confidential Location : Confidential Volume : 400,000 cu ft Duration : 2 Months Project Description The existing facility was to be expanded to facilitate greater production. This would require the demolition of some of the existing pipe and equipment and then addition of new components and piping. An as built PDMS model was required of the plant to allow the design of the new process. Scope of Services During the site visit, control data and as-built information were collected to document the facility. A PDMS Cad model was generated of the 50 bays spread over three different elevations. All piping, instrumentation in-line and remote, equipment, steel, concrete, duct, cable tray, conduit, and electrical components were included in the as built model. The model was a success due to reduced interference’s and rework. Client : Confidential Project : Confidential Location : Confidential Linear Feet 1000+ lft Duration : 1 Week Project Description The project involved the replacement of an existing nitric acid system with new titanium piping. To reduce the amount of down time required to replace the piping it was determined that it would be done one section at a time. The piping would be prefabricated off site and bolted in during normal maintenance outages. As-built services were used to provide highly accurate as built drawings of the existing system for the fabrication of the new piping. Scope of Services The survey was completed during a site visit. All associated piping connections were modeled along with the nitric acid system. A Microstation 3D Cad model was produced and used by the client for fabrication. Client : Confidential Project : Confidential Location : Confidential Volume : Approx. 20,000 cu ft Duration : 1 Month Project Description A PDMS 3D model was provided for process building for as-built purposes. Although this was a new building, it was considered necessary for future repairs to this facility. Scope of Services Field surveying was scheduled for evening and night to allow process tests to continue during day working hours as not to delay start-up of the new facility.All structural, concrete, piping 2 ½” and larger, and in-line instrumentation, electrical cable trays, and HVAC duct was included in the model. Client : Confidential Project : Vessel Replacement Location : Confidential Volume : NA Duration : 1 Week Project Description A PDMS 3D model was provided for piping and equipment connection nozzles of the No.6 Crystallizer to prepare for crystallizer replacement. This information was used to assist in fabrication of the new crystallizer for efficient and precise replacement Scope of Services Nozzles were precision surveyed to achieve high level of accuracy for removal and replacement of connecting piping. Drawings were delivered with information such as precise orientation, bolthole arrangement, and relative location. Client : Confidential Project : Confidential Location : Confidential Volume : 122,700 cu ft Duration : 4 Months Project Description A PDMS 3D model was provided for phase one of an existing process building. This project was to document as-built information for removal and replacement of selected piping and equipment. Scope of Services Field team collected as built information for entire building, adjoining pipe bridge, and tank farm. Only a portion of the building was modeled with the remaining to be modeled at a later date. Piping 1” and larger, structural, electrical cable trays, and ductwork were also modeled. Client : Confidential Project : Confidential Location : Confidential Volume : 220,000 cu ft Duration : 4 Months Project Description A PDMS 3D model was provided to document as-built piping, electrical, structural, equipment, etc., for a retrofit project. This project was the second of two projects in this plant. Scope of Services Field team collected data in portions of the building and adjoining pipe bridge. Piping 2” and larger, structural, electrical cable trays, and ductwork were modeled. Client : Confidential Project : Confidential Location : Confidential Volume : 180,000 cu ft Duration : 3 Months Project Description A PDMS 3D model was provided to document as-built piping, electrical, structural, equipment, etc., for a retrofit project. This project was the fourth project at this particular plant. Scope of Services Field team collected data for the building and adjoining pipe bridge. Piping ½ ” and larger, structural, electrical cable trays, and ductwork were modeled. The model allowed the client to successfully replace piping that was deteriorating. Client : Confidential Project : Confidential Location : Confidential Volume : 306,000 cu ft Duration : 5 Months Project Description A PDMS 3D model was provided to document as-built piping, electrical, structural, equipment, etc., for a retrofit project. This project was the first of four projects at this plant. Scope of Services Field team collected data for the building and adjoining pipe bridge. Piping ½ ” and larger, structural, electrical cable trays, single conduits 1” and larger, and ductwork were modeled. The model significantly reduced interference’s which reduced construction cost and down time. Client : Confidential Project : Confidential Location : Confidential Volume : 163,000 cu ft Duration : 2 Months Project Description A MicroStation 3D model was provided for replacement of piping connections to low temperature converters and also routing of new piping for a new vessel added in the area. Scope of Services Field team collected data for portions of the building and adjoining pipe bridge. Only a portion of the building was modeled with the balance of the building to be modeled at a later date. Piping 2 ” and larger, structural, electrical cable trays, and ductwork were modeled.
