However, there are increased risks, such as damage to existing facilities, unknown site conditions, and other complexities in brownfield sites. In addition to these physical risks, task scheduling is also complex, as vessels need to be replaced during a turnaround. To mitigate the risks of site conditions and realize a truncated schedule for Saudi Aramco’s operations, 3D laser scanning was combined with 3D modeling, clash detection, and time. This integrated approach minimized the shutdown period, which resulted in cost savings, heightened safety, and enhanced stakeholder communications.展开更多

The Water Handling Debottlenecking Project team has, instead, made use of a different technology—employing a Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) to install nine vessels in situ. These SPMT units have many advantages over crane installations, such as safety and efficiency, not to mention lower costs due to their self-propelled capabilities.展开更多
