In the heart of the steel industry, where precision and efficiency are paramount, we had the opportunity to collaborate on a critical maintenance project at the BlueScope Steel Coke Plant No.6. Working alongside L.E. Otten, a leading engineering consultancy firm, we were tasked with engineering design drafting the furnace modification area and providing detailed installation and manufacturing drawings.

Using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software, we created comprehensive engineered drawings that allowed us to visualise the proposed modifications in detail. This proactive approach enabled us to identify and address potential issues before they could impact the project timeline or budget. From these models, we generated precise installation and manufacturing drawings, which served as essential guides for the contractors responsible for implementing the physical changes.

Benefits of the Approach

• Early Problem Identification: By simulating the modifications in a virtual environment, we could foresee and resolve challenges before they arose on-site.
• Enhanced Communication: The detailed models and drawings facilitated clear and effective communication among all stakeholders, ensuring everyone was aligned on the project goals and processes.
• Cost and Time Efficiency: The thorough planning and visualization reduced the likelihood of errors, leading to significant savings in both time and resources.
• Increased Safety: With a clear understanding of the modifications, safety protocols could be better integrated into the workflow.
• Improved Quality: The precision of the drawings ensured that the modifications were carried out to the highest standards.

Project Scope

The project encompassed several key tasks, including:

• Identifying potential problems through detailed analysis.
• Creating accurate installation and manufacturing drawings.
• Procuring necessary materials and equipment.
• Overseeing the construction of the furnace modifications.
• Testing and commissioning the modified furnace to ensure optimal performance.

Thanks to meticulous planning and execution, the project was completed on time and within budget, showcasing the effectiveness of layout and detailed engineering drawings in complex industrial projects.
