Plan
Proper planning and cost control were key elements for this project’s success. After our technical team re-evaluated the initial heating and temperature control plan, our experts partnered with the GC’s technical team to review more efficient options.
The revised plan optimised the Total Operating Costs (TOC) for the phased-in equipment during the entire project’s heating lifecycle.
Design
Aggreko’s proposed ground thaw / concrete cure / frost prevention approach became a critical factor to maintain the GC’s timeline while managing the heating equipment’s footprint and monitoring/managing fuel consumption.
Our engineering and technical team designed a detailed phased-heating solution that delivered the precise amount of heat required (in BTU) for each planned section while aligning to the customer’s schedule.
Implement
Precise temperature control was critical to increasing customer confidence in the solution. So was the flexibility to easily adjust to different fuels during the execution of the project. Our solution resulted in reduced equipment footprint and lower setback barriers at the construction site.
Maintain
Our experience with construction projects has prepared us to manage sudden site constraints (temperature, emergencies, contingencies) and other unexpected changes throughout the project lifecycle.
When these contingencies appeared while executing the project our team was able to quickly pivot and adapt the original heating design while still maintaining the critical temperatures required for the successful for concrete cure.
Through this partnership, we became an extension of our customer’s sub-contracted team. Our heating experts could weigh in on project execution decisions resulting in a unified solution to each challenge, while maintaining no production or construction downtime.
