A fast and safe turnaround for SASOL
|
 |
Stefanutti Stocks Civils (Pty) Ltd recently completed the civil and structural works for the stirrer and cooling train forming part of the gasifier demonstration program (GDP) at Secunda.
This fast track project for Sasol, undertaken in conjunction with Lurgi, was programmed for one month. It included piling, construction of foundations and plinths and the installation of a multi level steel structure. The piling was undertaken by Stefanutti Stocks Geotechnical. A project management instruction (PMI) halfway through meant a change to the scope of works to allow for the installation of their vessels, which we priced for and were awarded.
This was completed within the revised contract period of one and a half months.
We worked seven days a week to complete the project on time, including the safe installation of the vessels, which did have an impact on our initial installation plan.
“To work in a refinery your safety awareness is paramount,” says Deon Henn, contracts manager. “Our teams have become specialist in the petrochemical field, and both projects were LTI (lost time injury) free for the full extent of the scope of works”.
Whilst this project was underway, we succesfully priced on a substation. The site team has remained on site at Sasol working on this six month contract, which is running on programme. Bulk excavations works, strip footings and columns for the first floor have been completed.
