In collaboration with L.E. Otten, a leading engineering consultancy, we executed the Blast Furnace Maintenance Project for One Steel Whyalla. The objective was to develop detailed maintenance planning and step-by-step instruction drawings for critical furnace maintenance tasks, such as replacing bricks and liners.

Project Overview

The maintenance planning drawings provide comprehensive details on tools, equipment, safety procedures, and operational sequences. They also map out the locations of key furnace components—like bricks and liners—for easy identification and access by maintenance personnel. The step-by-step instruction drawings offer clear, precise guidance to ensure tasks are performed accurately and safely.

Technical Expertise

This project demanded:

  • In-depth knowledge of blast furnace operations and maintenance
  • Strict adherence to the latest safety standards
  • Close collaboration with maintenance staff to ensure drawing accuracy and usability

Project Success

Completed on time and within budget, the deliverables have enhanced maintenance precision, minimized errors, improved safety, and fostered better team communication—resulting in greater efficiency and furnace reliability.
