KMS was contracted to provide comprehensive fabrication and installation services for the construction of a permanent bulk air cooling (BAC) facility for Shaft 1 & Shaft 2.
The facility was designed to be supplied with chilled water through the Ammonia Refrigeration Plant via Shaft 2. Our scope of work included the fabrication and installation of all structural steel elements, such as the Air Shed Structure, Platforms, and pipe supports.
In addition, we were responsible for the installation of Schedule 10 stainless steel piping, which was fully insulated with PIR injected 50mm insulation. All of our work was executed with strict adherence to Safe Work Method Statements, Job Safety Analysis, and full fabrication and installation Inspection Test Plans.
Our team’s expertise and experience in fabrication and installation allowed us to execute this project in a safe and efficient manner, ensuring the successful completion of the BAC facility.
Challenge
The client was facing the complex problem of establishing a permanent bulk air cooling facility for Shaft 1, which required the integration of cuttingedge technology and engineering solutions. This BAC facility needed to be connected seamlessly to the Ammonia Refrigeration Plant via Shaft 2, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted cooling.
Solution
KMS, a company with a proven track record in the industry, was engaged to complete the fabrication and installation of all structural steel including the Air Shed Structure, Platforms, and pipe supports. Furthermore, KMS used Schedule 10 stainless steel piping, insulated with PIR-injected 50mm insulation, to ensure maximum efficiency and durability in the BAC facility.
Execution
KMS carried out the entire fabrication and installation process as per the strict guidelines laid down by the Safe Work Method Statements, Job Safety Analysis, and full fabrication and installation Inspection Test Plans. This adherence to safety and quality protocols resulted in a seamless execution of the project with minimal manufacturing and installation errors.
Result
As a result of the rigorous processes followed during the fabrication and installation of the BAC facility, KMS managed to deliver a best-in-class cooling solution for the client. The success of the project was due to KMS’s dedicated effort to maintain the highest level of safety, quality, and efficiency The Shaft 1 & 2 SMP Cooling Upgrade project exemplifies how the right combination of innovative engineering solutions and strict adherence to safety, quality, and efficiency standards can result in a successful, cost-efficient BAC facility. This case study serves as a testament to KMS’s commitment to providing cooling solutions catering to the evolving needs of the industry.
