Case Study – SMP Installation – Beenyup Water Treatment Plant
BEENYUP WATER TREATMENT FACILITY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
BORE SMP INSTALLATION
CLIENT: KEP RECHARGE ALLIANCE
YEAR: 2016
SECTOR: WATER
PROJECT SCOPE KEP Recharge Alliance, a joint venture between Thiess and CH2M Hill Australia has started construction works on a $125 million water recycling plant in the northern Perth suburb of Craigie. KEP Recharge Alliance is responsible for the design, construction and commissioning of the Advanced Water Recycling Plant. The partnership between CHT JV and Water Corporation will have a capacity to recharge 14 billion litres of water into groundwater supplies; the scheme will provide a new climate independent water source to boost much needed drinking water supplies. In the future, the scheme can be expanded to ultimately deliver 28 billion litres of water when needed. WATER RECHARGE Once complete, the scheme will recycle water, treat it to drinking water standards and recharge it back into existing groundwater supplies. The Alliance will move more than 18,000 cubic metres of earth before constructing the plant and will then pour 1000cu.m of concrete, install 70km of cables and lay 15km of pipes. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2016 and will have built-in capacity to expand production to 28 billion litres of water as demand increases. AUSTLINE FABRICATIONS INSTALLATION Austline Fabrications has been awarded the installation of all pipe supports, piping, valves and associated instruments to all recharge spooling. Austline committed to a schedule and timeline of mobilisation of bore piping; documentation verification, onsite fabrication and Hydro testing all spooling to AS4041 & AS4037. Austline approached the installation methodically with successful finalisation of all documentation.
Case Study – Spray Tank Extension – Kukerin
SPRAY TANK EXTENSIONS, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
CLIENT: YARRAMUNDI FARMS
YEAR: 2016
SECTOR: AGRICULTURE
SCOPE OF WORKS Austline Fabrications was engaged by Yarramundi Farms to modify an existing stainless steel chemical tank on a purpose built John Deere self-propelled boom spray. The addition of this modified tank to the machinery extended the capacity to 6000 litres and was fabricated and installed within a 7-day timeline. The client also required an additional stainless steel water tank to replace an existing 400 litre PVC tank which Austline fabricated and installed within the short timeframe. Austline delivered with price competiveness, exceptional quality and exceeded client’s expectation for this project. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Austline’s tradesmen fabricated the tanks from 316 stainless steel. Within this process TIG welding was primarily utilised, incorporating back to back and purge welding techniques to manufacture the circular tank. Designing and manufacturing the tank to these specifications reduces the opportunity for corrosion internally. This process and design is in line with Sanitary Standards in the industry.
Case Study – Water Farm & Boiler Upgrade – West End Brewery
WEST END BREWERY, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
WATER FARM & BOILER UPGRADE
CLIENT: LION
YEAR: 2013 – 2015
SECTOR: FOOD & BEVERAGE
PROJECT SCOPE WATER FARM The water farm relocation and installation was completed whilst the plant was at full running capacity. To ensure no loss of production, Foodline Projects implemented a phased installation of the new vessels whilst systematically decommissioning and phasing out the old water farm. This included 5 new water vessels and 4 Clean in Place (CIP) tanks. BOILER UPGRADE Two new boilers were installed using 350mm nominal bore steel pipework with the old boilers decommissioned and removed from the site. TEMPORARY WORKS Foodline Projects installed a large amount of temporary pipework to allow continuous production whilst vessels were changed out. These temporary works were then removed at the end of the project. SAFETY FIRST APPROACH The West End brewery upgrade ran for 2 years with 35 specialised welders from TFG Group onsite full time. To ensure the safety of their employees, sub-contractors and operations staff, Foodline Projects employed a dedicated onsite safety officer to oversee the project. As a result, 68,000 man hours were worked with zero safety incidents, MTIs or LTIs. This safety first approach was particularly pertinent given that the total shut down time for the installation was only 7 weeks.
Case Study – Bluetongue Consolidation Project – Warnervale & Abbotsford
BLUETONGUE CONSOLIDATION PROJECT, WARNERVALE & ABBOTSFORD
DISMANTLE & RELOCATION OF CIDER PLANT
CLIENT: CARLTON & UNITED BREWERIES
YEAR: 2014 – 2015
SECTOR: BREWING
WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE Foodline Projects was engaged by Carlton & United Breweries to uninstall and then mechanically install the plant and equipment from Warnervale to the new cider making facility in Abbotsford. Foodline had comprehensive knowledge of both sites from previous installations and completed the project under budget and within time frame. SCOPE OF WORKS Foodline’s sequential removal was meticulously planned with careful handling of fermenters, bright beer tanks, sugar tanks, pumps and heat exchangers. The successful relocation to Abbotsford required the Foodline team to manage the projects transport, cranage, civil works and packaging to ensure precision installation of all equipment and tanks. Foodline was integral in the commissioning of all relocated equipment once in place at the new cider making plant. AUSTLINE FABRICATIONS TFG Groups Austline Fabrications division in Perth, Western Australia was awarded the design and fabrication of the access platforms, stairs and walkways. Fabricated in the purpose build factory in Welshpool they were then installed on site in Abbotsford to fit the new footprint of the cider making facility. TECHNICAL EXPERTISE Foodline successfully integrated the previous beer fermenters with extensive fabrication and modifications of the valve manifolds to be installed in the new plant as cider fermenters. TFG was chosen for this project due to our ability to sensitively remove utility plants including compressed air, boilers and cooling towers for resale.
