Case Study – Milk Processing Skids – Project Ninja
PROJECT NINJA, NEW SOUTH WALES
MILK PROCESSING SKIDS
CLIENT: PROCESS PARTNERS
YEAR: 2016
SECTOR: FOOD & BEVERAGE
SCOPE OF WORKS Austline Fabrications was engaged to supply, manufacture and install three mounted and fully assembled pasteuriser skids as part of the Lion flavoured milk upgrade in New South Wales. In addition, Austline was awarded the fabrication of a thermaliser skid, two CIP skids and preheaters of which all were fabricated, delivered and installed to the Lion owned Wetherill Park facility. SPECIALISED FABRICATION All skids were fabricated in Austline’s purpose built workshop in Western Australia by experienced tradesmen to achieve the project time frame. All fabricated skids and items utilised 316L stainless steel tube and aseptic grade valves. ENGINEERING Austline were issued 3D model drawings and produced working/fabrication drawings for their stainless steel fabricators. This ensured the skids were complete with plate heat exchangers, Hipex shell and tube heat exchangers, high flow pumps, Balance tanks (fabricated to sanitary grade), S/S control panel supports, inline micro filtration strainers, automated mix proof aseptic valves, instrumentation, airlines, electrical conduits and 36 meters of holding tube. DELIVERY From receipt of drawings and equipment, the skids were delivered to site within a six week timeframe. The skids arrived fully assembled and this enabled connection on site to minimise installation and testing time at the Wetherill Park Dairy.
Case Study – Stainless Steel Ducting – Curtin University
CURTIN UNIVERSITY, BENTLEY CAMPUS PERTH
STAINLESS STEEL DUCTING
CLIENT: ENVAR PTY LTD
YEAR: 2016
SECTOR: COMMERCIAL
NEW TECHNOLOGY Building 304 will provide custom research facilities dedicated to the Centre for Crop and Disease. Situated on the eastern side of Curtin’s Bentley campus; the four-story building will feature three levels of highly specialised laboratories. SCOPE OF WORKS Austline Fabrications was awarded the contract to supply, fabricate and install all associated stainless steel ductwork and decontamination lines for the custom research facilities by lead contractor Envar Group. Austline successfully designed, fabricated and installed all deliverables. Austline also assisted with final testing before the handover to the client. PRE-WORKS & COMPETITIVE SOLUTIONS A comprehensive pre site measure to existing floor and ceiling penetrations allowed Austline to customise and pre fabricate with precision in our Perth based factory. The pre-fabricated lobster back elbows, t- junctions and all spooling were then installed on site by experienced tradesmen with specialised cushion head install engaging purge welding techniques. Working with Envar on the design of the cushion head allowed for cost effective fabrication. Austline’s opportunity to maximise off site fabrication of large bore spools was integral in the success of the projects timeline. QUALITY – SANITARY GRADE This facility demanded each environment within the building to have a specific controlled atmosphere. The ductwork required Austline fabricators and installers to utilise sanitary grade purge welding to all stainless steel spools and fabricated items to ensure air purification of individual rooms and spaces in the laboratory. Passivation of all welds also ensured successful final testing of the system. This dedicated research building provides truly world-class contemporary facilities and will be the catalyst in attracting globally recognised crop and disease management scholars to Curtin University.
