Client Challenges:
- Structural drawings shared by the client had numerous missing connection details in steel structures.
- The suggestions made by our teams had to be approved by the client every time causing delays in deadlines for downstream process.
- The structures of oil and gas refinery had to be stable to bear all kinds of loads across the year.
- Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) issues were a major concern which made designing steel joints a critical process.
Our structural detailing solutions to client:
The client shared drawings of the pipe racks, structures, power generator shelters, PSV platform structures etc. with the structural steel detailing teams. Our structural detailing teams reviewed the drawings and identified the missing details to raise the RFIs.
- Once RFI details were received, steel detailer imported the drawings in Tekla Structures to prepare the 3D models.
- Crucial changes in levels and details of the structural joints were examined and incorporated in Tekla models.
- Final fabrication shop drawings, GA drawings, part and assembly drawings were prepared and shared with the client.
By outsourcing the steel detailing project to us, the client could meet the desired efficiency on filed installation without any significant delays. Since the fabrication was for offshore oil and gas structure, HSE risks were high but the client could strengthen the process of steel erection by eliminating potential hazards and loss of revenues.
