Worked with GEA to install a full high and low-pressure steam system into Fonterra Lichfield’s new dryer facility in South Waikato from October 2015 till June 2016.
Key Features:
- Extensive coordination and logistics across numerous disciplines and suppliers on multiple levels of the building.
- Regular communication crucial in ensuring everything went to plan.
- Close work with GEA design engineers to interpret 3D models of the building and process equipment.
- Installed valves and sender units to control steam flow and direction followed by detailed quality package delivered on completion of the last steam component complying with ASME and client standard.
- High safety standards on the site including participation in weekly safety walks alongside other contractors to help identify hazards and improvements.
Challenges:
- Level of detail critical in the model for each component of the facility to fit.
- Providing a turnkey solution spooling all of the pipework in their 30,000-square-foot factory.
- Pipework was carefully selected for site fit with both stainless and carbon disciplines throughout the building.
- Specialist welders to cover both stainless and carbon aspects.
