FILTER PRESS DESOX - OXALATE REMOVAL ``ALUMINIUM OF GREECE ``
“Aluminium of Greece”, a member of MYTILINEOS Group, is one of the leading vertically integrated aluminium and alumina producers in Europe. Its industrial facilities at Agios Nikolaos, Viotia, represent one of the most significant metallurgical complexes in Greece.
The industrial facilities include demanding process installations and complex steel structures designed to meet stringent operational, structural and constructability requirements.
The Oxalate Removal Project involved a major industrial extension within the existing plant facilities in Viotia. A key engineering challenge was the integration of the new steel structures into the existing industrial environment while maintaining the operational and spatial requirements of the facility.
The Filter Press Desox building was designed as a heavy steel structure supporting the operational loads of 12 filters and allowing for a future horizontal extension of the building. The project also included the design of a steel platform supporting six tanks installed within the basement area of the structure.
SCOPE
CiABIM cooperated with the design department of ERGOPRAXIS, undertaking the civil and structural design of the steel structures and their foundations. Our scope included the development and optimization of the structural analysis models, incorporating the mechanical design requirements and project-specific loading information provided by the MEP design team.
CiABIM also developed a fully detailed Tekla Structures model (LOD 400), incorporating the structural design requirements and supporting the detailed engineering and fabrication process through a coordinated BIM workflow.
