Case Study – SMP Installation – Beenyup Water Treatment Plant

Written on 17 November 2016.

BEENYUP WATER TREATMENT FACILITY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

BORE SMP INSTALLATION

CLIENT: KEP RECHARGE ALLIANCE

YEAR: 2016

SECTOR: WATER

PROJECT SCOPE

KEP Recharge Alliance, a joint venture between Thiess and CH2M Hill Australia has started construction works on a $125 million capabilities/water recycling plant in the northern Perth suburb of Craigie. KEP Recharge Alliance is responsible for the design, construction and commissioning of the Advanced Water Recycling Plant. The partnership between CHT JV and Water Corporation will have a capacity to recharge 14 billion litres of capabilities/water into groundcapabilities/water supplies; the scheme will provide a new climate independent capabilities/water source to boost much needed drinking capabilities/water supplies. In the future, the scheme can be expanded to ultimately deliver 28 billion litres of capabilities/water when needed.

WATER RECHARGE

Once complete, the scheme will recycle capabilities/water, treat it to drinking capabilities/water standards and recharge it back into existing groundcapabilities/water supplies. The Alliance will move more than 18,000 cubic metres of earth before constructing the plant and will then pour 1000cu.m of concrete, install 70km of cables and lay 15km of pipes.

The project is scheduled for completion in late 2016 and will have built-in capacity to expand production to 28 billion litres of capabilities/water as demand increases.

AUSTLINE FABRICATIONS INSTALLATION

Austline Fabrications has been awarded the installation of all pipe supports, piping, valves and associated instruments to all recharge spooling. Austline committed to a schedule and timeline of mobilisation of bore piping; documentation verification, onsite fabrication and Hydro testing all spooling to AS4041 & AS4037.

Austline approached the installation methodically with successful finalisation of all documentation.

Case Study – Spray Tank Extension – Kukerin

Written on 25 August 2016.

SPRAY TANK EXTENSIONS, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

CLIENT: YARRAMUNDI FARMS

YEAR: 2016

SECTOR: AGRICULTURE

SCOPE OF WORKS
Austline Fabrications was engaged by Yarramundi Farms to modify an existing stainless steel chemical tank on a purpose built John Deere self-propelled boom spray. The addition of this modified tank to the machinery extended the capacity to 6000 litres and was fabricated and installed within a 7-day timeline. The client also required an additional stainless steel capabilities/water tank to replace an existing 400 litre PVC tank which Austline fabricated and installed within the short timeframe. Austline delivered with price competiveness, exceptional quality and exceeded client’s expectation for this project.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Austline’s tradesmen fabricated the tanks from 316 stainless steel. Within this process TIG welding was primarily utilised, incorporating back to back and purge welding techniques to manufacture the circular tank. Designing and manufacturing the tank to these specifications reduces the opportunity for corrosion internally. This process and design is in line with Sanitary Standards in the industry.

Case Study – Stainless Steel Solutions – Water Corporation

WATER SOLUTIONS, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

STAINLESS STEEL SOLUTIONS

CLIENT: WATER CORPORATION

YEAR: ONGOING

SECTOR: WATER

PIT COVERS

DM CIVIL, ARMADALE PUMP STATION
Austline fabricated and supplied pit covers, safety grates and a stainless steel cast in frame complete with an aluminium cover. All stainless steel items were completely seal welded and passivated as per Water Corporation specifications. Items were inspected by Water Corporation welding inspectors and dispatched with a Water Corporation release form.

SAFETY GRATES & ALUMINIUM LIDS

GEORGIOU GROUP, KARRATHA WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT 10
Austline fabricated and supplied safety grate cast in frames, complete with gasket seal, all hinge pins and accessory items. Austline also supplied aluminium pit covers. Items were completed within the given timeframe to meet the clients deadline and were inspected by Water Corporation weld inspectors prior to dispatch. All items met the clients requirements and specifications.

INLET SPECIALS

WATER CORPORATION
Austline fabricated and supplied multitudes of sizes and quantities, directly to Water Corporation central works. Items were inspected and dispatched to site for Water Corporation contractors to install.

PIPE SPOOLING

WATER CORPORATION, ARMAGH STREET PUMP STATION
Austline fabricated and supplied multiple pipe spools direct to Water Corporation to be used as emergency storage upgrades at the Armagh Street Pump Station. These pipe spools were fabricated using stainless steel 316 materials and were welded to the Australian Standard 4041.

Case Study – Buffer Tank – RCR Tomlinson

Written on 29 June 2016.

SHENTON PARK WASTE FACILITY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

BUFFER TANK

CLIENT: RCR TOMLINSON

YEAR: 2008

SECTOR: RESOURCES

TANK FABRICATION

Austline Fabrications was awarded the design, engineering, fabrication and testing of the Buffer Tank to be installed for the purpose of Waster capabilities/water treatment at Shenton Park in Western Australia.

STRINGENT TIMELINE

Austline successfully completed the fabrication of the 25mm walled tank in a short timeframe of 4 weeks. The design, engineering fabrication and final NDT testing was completed within the required time and produced a fully compliant tank fit for purpose on site.

CORROCOAT

Austline applied Corrocoat to the Buffer Tank internally and externally to ensure anti corrosion of the tank in the Waste Water facility. The coating application is often the time restricting factor during the fabrication process, however, due to the rapid cure of the product used, the cost and time benefits when using Corrocoat materials can be hugely advantageous.

NDT TESTING

Finally, on completion of the Buffer Tank, Austline was responsible for the Non-Destructive Testing of the tank before installation on site. This testing was conducted by NACE inspectors to ensure the highest possible quality standards were maintained in strict accordance with Austline’s ISO 9001 Quality Management System.

Case Study – Gold Mine Elution Skids

Written on 29 June 2016.

GOLD MINE ELUTION SKIDS

VARIOUS

CLIENT: ENGINEERED PROCESS SYSTEMS

YEAR: 2008-2010

SECTOR: RESOURCES

ELUTION SKIDS

Consultancy Engineers EPS awarded Austline Fabrications contracts to supply and fabricate several skid mounted Elution Circuit Heating packages. These skids were manufactured to be installed at a number of National and International Gold Mines.

SCOPE OF WORKS

Austline fabricated several skids with a custom galvanized frame structure and cladded with fitted floor where required. Austline also installed process equipment to custom isometric drawing specifications; pre spooled and fitted fabricated pipe spooling and specific flue equipment for each skid.

Austline project managed the process of supplying insulation of the heat circuit pipe spools, fitted electrical instrumentation, flanges, flow meters, heat exchangers and associated specialised installation of pumps, tanks, tubing and valves.

EPS required the elution packages and vessels to be pre commissioned and pressure tested. Austline performed the testing on our premises before transportation to site for the end client.

Case Study – Liner Inserts – Tropicana Gold Mine

Written on 29 June 2016.

TROPICANA GOLD MINE, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

LINER INSERT PROJECT

CLIENT: DAVIES WEAR PLATE SYSTEMS

YEAR: 2016

SECTOR: RESOURCES

SCOPE OF WORKS
Austline Fabrications was awarded the fabrication and final delivery of two Hopper Liner Buckets by Davies Wear Plate Systems for the end client Tropicana Gold Mine. Austline successfully fabricated the buckets to protect their existing assembly.

FABRICATION PROCESS & TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Austline used specialised welding tradesmen to prepare and assemble free issue 20mm thick 450 BisPlate liner buckets. The welders used flux core welding with an extremely close tolerance to fit the existing unit on site. The finished assembled product weighed 8.5 tonnes per bucket. All materials were welded and prepared at TFG’s purpose build factory and assembled with all critical welds NDT tested.

FINAL FIT

The final fabricated buckets were loaded onto transport vehicles and delivered on time and under budget to the remote site in Central Western Australia. The buckets were craned into position by Davies Wear Plate Systems and were fitted within the end client’s specifications. Production resumed without delay.
