Instech Group use new piping 3D modelling Software

September 6, 2019

With the expansion of the Instech Group’s Piping, Mechanical, Civil and Structural design capabilities. Instech Group have recently upgraded their design software to include Autodesk Plant 3D software in their design office. General Manager Paul Roberts is excited with the new results with the uptake of the new Autodesk software tools. An example of this uptake is using 3D modelling of a new LPG metering skid designed for a local Melbourne oil and gas operator. This new approach allows the design to be reviewed by the client and by our Instech Group Engineers. The 3D model also produces automated Isometric and plan view and side elevation drawings. This new design tool improves the quality and efficiency design drawings to be prepared.

Esso Marlin B Oil and Gas Platform – Instech Group provide new heat tracing

September 21, 2018

Marlin B platform is the latest platform to be installed in Bass Strait as part of the Kipper Tuna Turrum Project back in 2013. Instech Group was provided the scope to provide a heat tracing upgrade of the gas piping and associated equipment which had been shown to experience hydrate issues leading to loss of oil and gas production on the platform. Instech Group also designed and supplied a new heat tracing distribution board including new DCS input modules to allow the new heat tracing circuits to be monitored on a new DCS screen including heat tracing circuits and surface temperature of the heat tracing. This work was completed ready for the 2018 winter period which has proven to provide a more reliable oil and gas production on the platform.

The new heat tracing distribution board was supplied to Instech Group by Advanced Controls with the installation work completed by UGL/WOOD and Balec.

Instech Group also provided the heat tracing engineering detail design for the new 450 Line project and other process line and equipment heat tracing.

AusNet Services Railway Ave and Coburns Road Regulator upgrades Successfully commissioned

The existing AusNet Services City Gates at Coburns Road, Milton and Railway Ave, Corio have been successfully upgraded with the latest pressure regulators. These new pressure regulators allow for future reliable operation of gas pressure to the nearby town ships with the ability for the SCADA system to remotely adjust the down stream pressure setpoint. Comdian Infrastructure commented that the piping spools where pre-tested in their workshop on air to ensure the pilots controlling the pressure regulators where fully tested and proven to be operational before the old units were removed and the new spools (complete with new regulators) were installed. These new spools fitted perfectly once the old spools and regulators were removed.
