  • As-built survey with the plant in operation
  • Integration of the disciplines involved: electrical, mechanical and piping

The main challenge

Engecell did the electrical and process as-built, with flow diagram review, and the basic electrical and mechanical design of the granulation tower, together with the client's own engineering.

Multidisciplinarity was the core of the job. An alternative modeling software, better suited to the budget, was used. The as-built was done with the plant running, supervised only by operators. Engecell met the technical requirements of the Danish headquarters. Drawings and bills of materials had a ±5% margin on cost and quantity, as the end client required.

Key success indicators

All work finished within the deadlines set at the kick-off
Specialized staff placed at the client site to make the as-built fast and accurate
Labor optimized, with alternative software suited to the budget

Engecell's challenges

Working to strict chemical requirements and criteria
Working on site with a lean team, doing most of the work at Engecell's office
