Challenges

1. In this job we have 2 units - Unit 3 and Unit 4.
Our challenge is to ensure that assemblies in both units 3 and 4 follow the same numbering series. To accomplish this, we first completed the connections and finalized the construction of Unit 3. Then, we copied the finalized connections to the Unit 4 building and assigned matching numbers to the assemblies in both units. This resulted in an increase in the quantity in assembly drawing, with 01 quantity for Unit 3 and 01 quantity for Unit 4.

2. We have about 500 pipe supports and lugs in this job. Detailing these using the pipe support schedule, lug schedule, and standard drawings is a challenging task, especially because we have not done this kind of pipe support and lug detail before for SSS customer.

3. Modelling and detailing of built up columns and built up trusses.

4. Modelling and detailing of sloped horizontal brace connections.

Upgrades

Auto-connection applicator was used to automate the connections. Components were created related to safety hole, column reinforcement plate.
