Sulphur Melting Pit Engineering Design and Drafting

Solution Provided | Detailed engineering design and drawings to allow transition to fabrication and installation phases.

Disciplines | Structural, Mechanical Engineering

Carnac undertook detailed engineering design and drafting services for the refurbishment of a sulphur melting pit. The items to be refurbished or replaced included:

  • A suspended access platform;

  • Pit agitators;

  • Pit heating coils;

  • Pit lids;

  • Piping and connections; and

  • Connections to input chutes and fire suppression;

 Carnac carried out the following:

  • 3D laser scanning;

  • Structural engineering calculations to support design decisions;

  • Detailed design drawings;

  • 3D models;

  • Structural engineering calculations;

  • Module assemblies; and

  • Piping tie-ins and layout drawings.

Carnac’s work addressed issues relating to unsafe and inadequate access platforms and hazardous material spillage. Carnac provided a modular design for the melting pit areas to allow rapid installation of prefabricated modules to minimise plant outages and improve safety outcomes.
