Heater Maintenance Platform

Solution Provided | Carried out a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) to develop a design for a mobile maintenance platform to assist with re-tubing of heaters.

Disciplines | Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Design

Carnac – Project Delivery Services Pty Ltd (Carnac) provided engineering services to design a maintenance platform to eliminate the need to construct scaffolding and simplify the maintenance process. Carnac’s assessment included the following:

  • Investigation of the area and opportunities to improve heater maintenance;

  • Concept level design including but not limited to the following options:

    • Towable platform;

    • Self-driven platform;

    • Rotable heaters; and

    • Permanent structure.

  • Produced concept sketches where required;

  • Produced a concept estimate of each option; and 

  • Submitted a report on the concept viability based on estimated costs and maintenance optimisation.
