Design and installation of a containment solution, alongside the installation and fabrication of pipework for Able Engineering


Woodward Group installed a containment system for Able Engineering Ltd and carried out the installation of cabling and control wiring for a petrochemical skid, working from a detailed specification and 3D construction modelling.

After all items of electrical equipment had been installed, the plant’s skid was dismantled of all associated pipe work and containment, grit blasted and painted. All pipe work and equipment was reinstated, and cabling and final connections were made to the marshalling panels. Trace heating was then installed to complete the works.

CLIENT:

Able Engineering / ETA Process Plant


SECTOR:

Petrochemical


PROJECT:

Comprehensive electrical control and power solution for the petrochemical skid, prior to shipping to Saudi Arabia


BUDGET:

£80,000


WOODWARD DIVISION:

Electrical


REQUIREMENT:

The design and installation of a containment solution, alongside the installation and fabrication of pipework.


BACKGROUND:

The project’s specification was agreed, and our team was able to work from this and 3D construction modelling.


SOLUTION & OUTCOMES:

Our team first installed all electrical equipment, and then the skid was dismantled of all associated pipework and containment, then grit blasted and painted. All pipework and equipment were reinstated, cabling and final connections made to the marshalling panels, and trace heating then installed to complete the project.

As with all our projects, we maintained close coordination with all parties, especially crucial for this project as there were a number of trades onsite and involved.

Point to point testing was undertaken for the verification of each circuit, where a temporary supply was installed with control links, through to commissioning the opening and closing of valves and actuators.

The Veternfall pilot plant was shipped directly to East Germany for installation as part of a larger, ongoing project, marking the completion of an essential element of the commissioning process.
