Carnac – Project Delivery Services Pty Ltd (Carnac) provided engineering services to develop a chute to collect leaking material. Carnac’s assessment included the following:

  • Laser scanning of the immediate area. This required high accuracy due to construction being in a congested area and in close proximity to rotating equipment;

  • Designing the chute with reference to pipe drawings and laser scan; and

  • Delivery of 4 detailed fabrication drawings.
