“Aluminum of Greece” as a member of MYTILINEOS GROUP is the largest vertical producer of aluminum and alumina in the EU and one of the most robust growing industrial companies in Greece. Its international business activity is a driving force for the national economy, but also for the development of the Greek region.
The industrial production of MYTILINEOS in the facilities of Aspra Spitia – Viotia is oriented towards particularly demanding technological applications. These are usually heavy and/or complex metal constructions, with high quality requirements.
MYTILINEOS aluminium plant is one of the strongest pillars of Greek industry and has established itself as one of the strongest players in the Metallurgy sector in the European Union, with an annual production capacity that exceeds 190,000 tons of aluminium and 860,000 tons of alumina.
The Oxalate Removal Project was a heavy industrial extension in the main facility sector of the plant in Viotia. The complexity of the design was focused in the interaction of the new steel structures to be installed on site, while the existing industry was able to continue operate with no impact. To be more specific, the Filter Press Desox building was a heavy steel structure that was designed to carried out the operation loads of 12 filters & 6 more in case of horizontal extension of the building. In its basement we design the platework of 6 tanks which were installed in the overall foundation of the structure.
We cooperate with the design department of ERGOPRAXIS, as we were awarded with the scope of the civil design of all steel structures and their foundation. Our scope was to participate in all phases of the civil design having taken into acount all the MEP design data taken from the Mechanical Engineers of ERGOPRAXIS. Our engineers created all the structural analysis models and optimised their design in the final stage. We create a full detailed Tekla Structures model (LOD400), in which all the design team and the awarded steel fabricator company LIAROMATIS S.A. had access through the model sharing process of Trimble.
