Pipeserv designs a chemical plant Kavala Greece, for an established industrial client. The facilities include product refining and manufacturing facilities enabling a major upgrade of the existing facilities and thus product of higher quality and quantity.

We were contracted to provide detailed design, in conjunction with the plant’s licensor, for a brownfield project in the client’s existing fertilizer’s manufacturing plant.

The project’s challenges include highly corrosive environments, necessitating specialized solutions and materials, as well as extensive use of plastic materials which require specialized design and engineering. Our task force deployed our integrated BIM design process to create highly accurate preliminary designs, enabling our client to work faster with regulating authorities and provide early inputs on the project critical to the subsequent design phases.

This benefited our client who was able to flexibly arrange its bidding, awarding and construction process to better suit his exact needs. It also provided an easy review for all stakeholders, from plant managers, company management and planners, to operating personnel of the project’s arrangements and logic, thus enabling a transparent, immediate, multi-domain input of the client on all aspects of the project, from cost to operations. This practice ultimately provides the client with the most cost-effective solution while also being highly functional.

An additional aspect of the project was the 3D laser scanning and reality capture of the existing facilities to help the client plan and perform demolitions of older facilities and the planning and arrangements of the new facilities in their position, thus significantly reducing the design time and deconflicting the battery limits and features of the existing facilities with the new ones.
