This has allowed us to improve communication between the design team and the project stakeholders (owners, operators, maintenance and constructors), to reduce field construction costs, and to reduce engineering design costs. The Plant Design Management System (PDMS) is our prime 3D design tool for mechanical and piping work. Our co owner - AMEC - introduced PDMS to our company in 1994. AMEC's extensive experience with both PDMS and PASCE contributed to our ability to implement 3D design quickly and effectively within Beca AMEC. We also have experience in other systems including: PASCE, Autocad, Rebis, Microstation 3D, SolidWorks, and Inventor. We believe that PDMS is an effective design solution for large projects, for small projects, for greenfields projects and for brown fields work. From our experience we know that we can do the job faster, with fewer designers, and clients achieve a constructed plant at a lower cost through the application of this technology. PDMS is a data centric design system: It is a database at heart - using these to store design information. Data is entered & stored only once. It uses a Catalogue database to store component data. And Specification databases that we customise to each specific project. Multiple users operate simultaneously in the same database. Work is done in a realistic graphical environment. Any view of the data is produced on demand. The design team can be in different physical locations - utilising a WAN or even the Internet for database synchronisation. Physical clash detection is automated We have a large in-house team of experienced 3D designers. We have the ability to rapidly produce a variety of accurate documents for your business, including: perspectives, piping isometrics, material reports and a host of orthographic views. In addition, interactive or 'movie style' walkthroughs are used to improve communication from the conceptual development stage of a project all the way through to construction. This encourages ownership by the various project stakeholders via collaborative troubleshooting and problem solving, and accelerates the understanding of the work by construction contractors. 3-D visualisation contributes to interference checking, operability, access and safety considerations and client approval. The benefits of using PDMS can be substantial as shown from the following chart.

These have included sawmills, chip mills and wood mills of varying sizes and have covered the fields of environmental studies, feasibility studies, performance analysis, process design, detail design, equipment procurement, operator training, commissioning, operations and startup assistance. Beca AMEC is in the advantageous position of being able to engineer wood products from a local base, but with world class technology inputs when appropriate. As a result, it has established a reputation, not only for effective problem solving and optimisation but also for design of efficient, reliable facilities well suited to Australasian conditions and wood species."] page[03]=["..\/Toolbox\/toolbox_hazop.html","HAZOP Studies","","HAZOP is an abbreviation for 'Hazard and Operability' and is a formalised approach to identifying hazards and problems in Process Plants which can prevent efficient operation. HAZOP studies provide a forum for people to use their experience and skills to assess ways in which hazards or operating problems might arise. A systematic approach, considering each line, mode of operation, and type of hazard in turn, minimizes the chance of overlooking a problem. The technique has been used extensively in the process industries, primarily as a tool in the design phase of a plant or plant upgrade. Existing plants, in particular those that have been extensively debottlenecked or modified, may have deviated from original design intent and safety concepts. A HAZOP study will assist in reviewing such changes. Approach The timing of a HAZOP is critical to maximising the benefit. Inevitably, a HAZOP will result in design changes. Time is required to implement these changes, so the optimum time for a HAZOP is at the start of detail design - with completed Process Flow Diagrams (PFD's). It thus can provide a valuable tool in project scheduling - to fix a 'Design Freeze' milestone. Process changes after this time must be agreed as essential to the operation, in order to minimise cost impact. If an existing plant is being studied, an essential first step is to bring the PFD's up to date, and confirm current operating practices. A HAZOP is carried out by a team. This team varies slightly for the above cases, but representatives from the Design, Process, Operating and Maintenance groups are all required. Specialist in instrumentation and control areas, and vendor representatives, will also be of value. An independent chairman, skilled in the HAZOP technique, is necessary to keep the team following the procedure. Ideally the chairman is not closely involved with the design or operation of the process plant, in order to ensure objectivity. The chairman will prompt discussion where necessary, whilst leaving team members to arrive at solutions. If no immediate solutions are forthcoming, the problem is noted for subsequent action outside the meeting. Benefits Utilisation of combined experience of staff in a constructive way. Early interaction between design and 'end user' personnel. Confirmation of plant 'fitness for purpose'- non essential equipment and piping is avoided at design stage. Establishment of a milestone which permits detail design proceed unhindered. Proven benefits in reducing commissioning and start up delays."] page[04]=["..\/Expertise\/expertise_engineering.html","Engineering Toolbox","","The ability to model any 'What If' scenario before committing capital expenditure has saved many of our clients substantial sums. Our selection of 3D design tools helps to eliminate design conflicts and technology clashes - thereby reducing construction rework. A fundamental part of Beca AMEC's capability is its use of sophisticated software tools for modelling processes, aiding design and optimising plants. These tools have numerous benefits: they enable designs to be completed and tested before construction, with significant savings in time and costs. They help with selecting correct equipment and facilitate trouble shooting and debottlenecking. They're invaluable for pinpointing conflict areas. The tools include: CADSIMPLUS™ and IDEAS™ - advanced dynamic simulation packages that allow plants to be 'test run' before being built. They allow both discrete and continuous processes to be modelled and simulated under varying conditions - from steady state to crisis situations. PDMS - a 3D plant design package that allows multi-disciplinary teams to build a detailed model concurrently, with each designer able to see what others are doing. It results in faster design, reduced rework costs, optimised use of materials and streamlined construction. All of which means projects provide a faster return on investment. 3D LASER SCANNING - in plant modification or re-fit projects, designers need accurate, as-built data, but existing plans rarely bear any resemblance to what's actually on site. 3D laser scanning is an extremely precise (to within 5 mm) measurement and visualisation tool. Where manual measuring techniques can be inaccurate, costly, unsafe and disruptive, laser scanning produces detailed plans with substantially reduced field survey time and costs, minimal risk to personnel and no need for plant shutdown. Additional design tools used by Beca AMEC include AutoCAD™, Rebis Auto Plant™, Microstation 3D™, Inventor™, AutoPipeR, and Strand™."] page[05]=["..\/Content\/partnering.html","Partnering - A Winning Combination","","Getting to know and understand your business is an evolutionary process - it moves from a relationship to a partnership.

The model is built by digitizing precision photographs taken of the work site and is accurate to 5mm or better How it Works Beca AMEC utilizes the photogrammetry process developed by Offset Services Ltd. In this process, targets are placed and surveyed in the work scope area. These targets serve as a reference in the photos to determine the camera location. Pairs of high resolution photos are taken with a single-lens camera. The photos are then scanned into a computer workstation and digitized to build a 3D CAD model. Applications Photogrammetry is cost-effective in many situations. Such as: areas of highly congested piping areas where manual measurement is difficult or hazardous plants where as-built drawings are non-existent or unreliable areas where dimensional accuracy is critical Benefits Photogrammetry saves time and money and reduces project risk. By capturing the as-built configuration of your plant as a 3D CAD model, Beca AMEC will use the power of our PDMS plant design system to exceed your expectations.

They familiarise operators with start-up and operational processes, exposing them to situations that are impractical to trail in the real plant. With the increasing complexity of control systems and emphasis on boosting production efficiency, operator familiarity and knowledge of the processes and process equipment has become an essential part of plant management. Training is the logical strategy, but as it's often impractical to train staff within a fully-operational plant, a high-fidelity process model connected to an off-line control system is the ideal solution. And Beca AMEC has extensive expertise in building such models - and providing the training. Models that simulate plant processes allow operators to be trained for an infinite variety of unusual or abnormal operating conditions. They also serve as refresher training facilities for normal plant operation. Typical models cover plant start-up, shutdown and normal operation, as well as a broad range of adverse situations that require fast response and accurate control solutions. Ultimately, the models help to minimise process variations, thereby enhancing product quality and consistency. Process models and training also provide additional benefits: faster start-up and commissioning of new plant. Detecting logic and interlock errors at the simulator stage means that operators can commission the new control system with complete confidence.

With accurate records hard to maintain, available plans can bear little resemblance to the reality of what's actually on your site. 3D Laser Scanning is the Beca AMEC solution. A highly intelligent measurement and visualisation tool, it uses a laser scan to develop extremely precise and complete three-dimensional models of even the most complex plant and equipment. These models create a highly accurate visual and electronic database of your facility's infrastructure: a powerful information management and planning tool that saves both time and money. While manual measurement can be inaccurate, costly, unsafe and disruptive, 3D Laser Scanning produces amazingly accurate and finely detailed plans of a facility with substantially reduced field survey time and costs, minimal risk to personnel and no need for plant shutdown. Laser Scanning is today's most cost-effective technology for gathering three dimensional plant data. There is actually less site measurement work required, because the need for separate surveys by each engineering discipline is eliminated. And there is generally no need to return to the site. Yet, with accuracy to within 5 mm, the result is a far more precise picture of your facility's true configuration than is otherwise achievable. With Laser Scanning, a series of precisely positioned survey reference targets are placed throughout your facility. A laser scans the area and produces a point cloud of individual measurement points of the complete area, which are cross-referenced to the survey targets to produce 3D models, illustrating actual as-built conditions with startling accuracy. This stored 3D data facilitates our design, planning and engineering simulations, as well as accurate site inspections and on-going analysis.

The computer stress analysis package used is AutoPIPE. AutoPIPE offers a high degree of flexibility in modelling techniques and produces user friendly output data. The Importance of Stress Analysis Stemming from the conceptual process design phase is the detail engineering phase, involving piping layouts and isometrics. It is important that all hot piping systems are assessed on thermal expansion to give an initial indication into the likely problem areas. This logical approach ensures the layout will not require reworking at a later date and provides a complete design solution. Pipe Routing & Supporting Harmful piping systems such as steam, condensate and natural gas which are required to be designed to a code require a complete stress analysis to gain statutory approvals. Manual calculations become difficult, time consuming and expensive. Process lines which are non-coded with diameters >Ø150mm and with temperature differentials >60°C should also be stressed as these lines have the potential to produce high stresses and support forces. Invariably piping systems initiate or terminate at equipment nozzles. The piping system induces loads to these nozzles, which have specified allowable loads, to which a comparison must be made. Piping systems carrying hazardous fluids require rigorous stress analysis to ensure that the contents do not leak under specific load combinations such as a seismic event. Model Building All the piping components and details are inputted as node points to create a realistic piping model. Typical node points would locate piping fittings, valves, supports, etc. Piping components are chosen from a wide range of material options. The model is displayed in 3-D with all the input data presented in a list file allowing easy checking. Features A complete stress analysis can be performed for the following load cases: Gravity Pressure cases (3) Thermal cases (3) Hydrotest Static earthquake / seismic (3 directions) Soil (buried pipe) Wind cases (8) Static analysis Modal analysis Anchor & support movements Spring Hanger selection (10 manufacturers) Response spectrum Tank settlements / nozzle flexibility Beam elements for modelling frames Gaps / frictions / yielding Code compliance Model consistency check Piping systems can be analysed to the following codes: ANSI/ASME B31.1 ANSI/ASME B31.3 ANSI/ASME B31.4 ANSI/ASME B31.8 International piping codes As mentioned earlier the stress analysis has the feature of checking the piping loads on equipment nozzles. The following pieces of rotating equipment can be checked: Turbines (NEMA 23) Pumps (API 610) Compressors (API 617) The results from the analysis can be displayed in a tabular or graphical form with either screen or hard copy printouts.

We have management skills to implement multi-disciplinary projects, and offer a customised service that includes design-supply and design-build options. Design engineering is all about turning concepts into constructable designs - efficiently and cost-effectively. And essentially, it's a systematic progression - from process design and selection of mechanical equipment to sizing of control equipment, definition of electrical supply requirements and, eventually, structural design. It is important that each stage is sufficiently defined before information is passed on to the next discipline. This strategy optimises the cost of engineering and is vital for purchasing equipment. At the same time, however, it is necessary to drive the process so that the project meets its schedule. Previous site experience adds value in detailed engineering. Beca AMEC has many years of experience in managing this delicate balance, and employs a well-developed set of tools and techniques for controlling design budgets. As a multi-disciplinary company we work closely with our construction managers, and are able to deliver designs that accommodate constraints, particularly projects restricted by fully-operational, 24 hour/day plants. Innovative use of smart design tools is a significant feature of detail engineering. Tools that deliver increased accuracy with proven benefits in reducing rework costs. They also allow modelling of dynamic plant scenarios, enabling designers to eliminate plant conflicts. A defining factor in the company's performance lies in the pulp and paper industry experience of its key engineers and designers. This in-depth knowledge of how the industry works at a micro level means our designs work well in practice - not just on paper."] // // You can alter the way the Javascript Search Engine works by changing the values below. // Change these if you do not like the default behaviour.
