KEVOS® partnered with leading engineering consultancy L.E. Otten to deliver advanced 3D modelling and detailed shop documentation for the maintenance and modification of BlueScope Steel's Coke Plant No.6 furnace — a high-stakes industrial environment where precision, safety, and uptime are non-negotiable.

The challenge was clear: execute complex furnace modifications within a live steel manufacturing facility, where any miscalculation could trigger costly delays, safety incidents, or quality issues. Traditional drafting methods alone could not provide the spatial clarity required to coordinate fabrication, installation, and on-site assembly across multiple stakeholders.

Our team developed a comprehensive 3D CAD model of the furnace modification zone, enabling early clash detection, geometric validation, and constructability review before any steel was cut. From this single source of truth, we produced precise installation and manufacturing drawings that guided contractors through every fabrication and on-site sequence with confidence.

The result was a project delivered on time, on budget, and to specification — with measurable improvements in stakeholder communication, fabrication accuracy, site safety, and overall build quality. By front-loading visualisation and documentation, KEVOS® eliminated rework, reduced installation risk, and ensured seamless execution within an operational heavy industrial setting.

This project reflects KEVOS®' core capability: translating complex engineering intent into buildable, high-fidelity drafting deliverables that empower contractors and protect project outcomes.
