Keeping Things Warm

A client needed to expand their oil storage tanks and upgrade the thermal heating system at their Draper, UT plant. REDD was hired to create a new piping layout and design, as well as evaluate existing and new equipment requirements to determine the client’s thermal needs.

REDD utilized an existing 3D point cloud and a 2D location arrangement drawing. A system process diagram for the asphalt oil and thermal heating fluid systems was developed. Based on this diagram, a new drawing for the foundation locations of new and existing equipment was made. A new 3D piping model of the asphalt oil and thermal heating fluid systems was also created. The existing heater, new heater, and booster pump were then evaluated to ensure they met the client’s requirements.
