Another Milestone of the past NIPSCO project at Michigan city is a coal fired generating station located on lake Michigan in Northwestern Indiana (Designed to generate 540MW at unit 1&2).
The pollution control technology in the form of a dry Flue Desulphurization (FGD) Includes the scope of work for Circulating Dry scrubber (CDS), SCR Structure, which in general covers the technical requirement of the Dry FGD system equipment including lime receiving and preparation, lime feeding equipment, the circulating Dry scrubber, absorber /reactor, bag house and recycle handling equipment for Michigan city 1&2. This project utilizes multiple approach with several supply and deliver contracts. This project was designed by Babcock/Riley Power with Stantec and the steel capacity was 4000 tons.
Sanria Engineering’s responsibilities included structural steel connection design, preparation of 3D model, shop drawings, erection drawings and CNC files for automated fabrication for the CDS, bag house, SCR duct support structures and access platforms.
The entire structural steel scope was divided into multiple sequences based on the fabrication and erection of the structures. Sanria took priority in providing weekly updates on the project and submitted 3D models for coordination with various vendors.
Sanria Engineering had to work with initial design documents and subsequently received many design changes and load table revisions. This project had Re-circulatory duct support steel, Inlet/Outlet duct support steel, Dry absorber steel, SCR structure, Baghouse Steel.
Sanria utilized Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) and BIM platform and its industry design experience to coordinate with all involved parties on the project. We shared model files to co-ordinate with different vendors for a better coordination.
Acute interpretation of available data with focus on schedule and quality were maintained throughout the project. Interference checking with all other aspects of the project and weekly progress reports ensured the Customer utmost level of confidence in project execution.
