KEY TRENDS SHAPING THE INDUSTRY

The Mining & Metals (M&M) industry is facing new challenges. In Energy transition and Net-Zero based redesign approach
the past, the mining sector had to plan their production based Adopting Controlled-Tower methodology in new normal
on “highest volumes at the lowest production cost”. Today, they conditions
have to be profitable and productive and sustainable under
new & upcoming regulations. The Mining and Metals (M&M) Innovate and integrate various functions to bring greater
sector is returning to growth, but companies face a transformed capital efficiency
competitive and operating landscape. Adoption of Industry 4.0/5.0, digitalisation and remote-
Key drivers for the next decade for this sector are the controlled centre for plant operations
following :

Import substitution strategy (Resource Security) with
redefined globalisation

Climate change and environmental sustainability without
compromising competitiveness

A PROJECT
Vessel replacement in Steel Melt Shop

Among 2 - 330T capacity Converter vessel inside a
Steel Melt Shop, one old Converter was planned to be
replaced keeping other Converter under operation to
meet the production requirement. TCE was awarded to
prepare an Option Selection Report with 3 most suitable
cost-effective Concept for Converter replacement work,
keeping downtime for replacement work as minimum
as possible, with minimum building structure alteration,
maintaining all safety aspects during construction work &
safety regarding ongoing production in another converter
vessel.
A 3D model of the 330T capacity Converter vessel with
its associated parts, Dog House structure, Duct work,
Building structure, Operated Cranes inside the plant in
different bays, other relevant facilities and installation at
the vicinity of the converter vessel was prepared based
on the 3D scan data, As-Built drawing & Drone survey to
transform the asset into a digital platform, with zero site
visit from engineering office. The most advanced jacking
& skidding system used in construction work are being
explored to facilitate removal & installation of the vessel in
blowing stand through a confined corridor.
Based on a detailed study for 3 options, activities for
replacing the existing vessel are being identified. Relevant
structural analysis, Design and other necessary calculation
are being done to estimate the quantity of modification
work required. Finally, digital technical specifications
for the vessel replacement work & building structure
alteration shall be issued to collect fit-for-purpose offers
with minimum human intervention at the site.
