1000 m long pipe racks with 5 tiers to support process & utility piping with top tier to support instrument & cable trays from different units of the entire plant.
Components:
Structural steel framing over concrete pedestals + steel braced frames + shallow foundation
Services Provided:
SMV provided full structural services from concept to construction including fabrication drawings. Construction drawings & fabrication drawings were provided using BIM. The entire project coordination, with multiple disciplines, during the design phase was provided using BIM.
Important Information:
Trussed pipe supports were designed to carry pipes & cable trays over longer spans at various road crossings. For lateral stability, plan bracings as well as vertical bracings were designed at critical locations. Expansion joints were provided to allow for lateral displacement. Detailing and coordination were carried out using BIM to ease fabrication.
