Complete E&I Design for Golden Bay Cement Major Upgrade Projects
After 5 years of concerted effort, Golden Bay Cement completed several large projects, totalling around $106M, to improve performance and throughput of their plant. The team at Buchanan Projects Ltd are proud to have completed all of the Electrical and Instrumentation Detailed Design for these projects.
The projects consisted of new and replacement systems for:
- · Scada Control System
- · Coal Mill and Coal Delivery Systems
- · Cooler
- · 3 Closed Circuit Cement Mill Systems
- · Raw Material Handling System
- · Gas Train System
This required the design, manufacture and installation of:
- · 3 new substations complete with Power Distribution Centres
- · 5 new Motor Control Centres
- · New PLC Panels, Processors, Racks and Modules
- · Approximately 200 new or replacement motors
- · Marshalling Boxes
- · Local Isolator and Control Boxes
- · Power, Control and Instrumentation cabling
- · Cable Ladder and Tray Systems
- · Lighting Systems
Much of the cabling and equipment systems were fully documented in a newly developed database system from which reports were automatically produced for field use by the installation contractor including:
- · Equipment Schedules
- · Cabling Schedules
- · Termination Schedules
- · Equipment Test Sheets
- · Cable Test Sheets
The projects were started by preparing a set of Engineering and Drawings Standards to which the new design and equipment would adhere, with further fine tuning of those as the projects proceeded. BPL developed a close working relationship with the client and the installation contractors to help GBC complete the projects in a timely manner and to a high level of quality.
BPL would like to thank Ken Palmer of GBC for putting his faith in us to provide GBC with the quality and timely detailed design they required.
