Client Profile

• Client Company is a leading cement manufacturer’s in emerging markets.

• It is based in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates and employs more than 500 people.

• It is the largest cement producer in the United Arab Emirates and a leading regional cement exporter.

• Their principal operating cement plant has an annual production capacity of 2.7 million tons cement

and 3.8 million tons clinker.

Project Detail

• The project was to build up a supporting structure for new boiler in cement industry.

• Hi-Tech’s scope of work was to provide shop drawings for boiler supporting structure.

Project Process

Challenges

• Their structure design firm of the boiler supporting structure provided Staad pro model as an initial input

for starting the TEKLA model. Further the task was to import the Staad model into TEKLA & work on it.

• The analysis model in Staad is always a center line model, so we need to change all members location

as per the actual input drawings.

• Steel connections were too heavy for TEKLA modeling.

Execution

• After incorporating Staad model provided by their design firm we have to change each member’s

location.

• Even design firm was to design the same structure simultaneously which we were doing in TEKLA. So

there were chances of more revisions from the design team. So to deal with it and to make it finish it in

specific time line was one of the big task.

• Tower height was 55 metre and there was a lump mass at the top of structure in the form of boiler. Such

situation makes stability of structure very instable under earthquake forces and to resist such forces

designer provided us very heavy beam-beam, beam-column, bracing connections. So to do TEKLA

model of such heavy connections was a good experience.

• The detailed shop drawings helped the client to reduce the overall installation time which further

reduced project cost & thus made the execution process smoother.
