Thermal Dryer Replacement

Execution Strategy

• Early Planning & Design Integration: Initial planning included reviewing IFC design drawings, supplier documentation, technical specifications, and battery‑limit definitions to fully understand all mechanical scope boundaries.

• Fabrication: DIALOG Fitzroy fabricated the stainless‑steel pipe spools, structural frames, supports, and silos.

• Site Management: Prior to installation, mechanical, civil, and electrical works were integrated into an overall site management plan, ensuring safe access, effective interdisciplinary coordination, and compliance with environmental and safety requirements

• Mechanical Installation: Mechanical installation followed an ordered sequence, beginning with pipe supports and structural steel required for plant mounting. This progressed to installation of cooling water pumps, foul‑air fans, sludge transfer systems, conveyors, valves, foul‑water pump station equipment, ducting, and service pipework to each battery limit. Haarslev dryer components were installed in coordination with their supervisors, with strict adherence to alignment, anchoring, seismic restraints, torque requirements, and lifting procedures.

• Commissioning and Handover: Following installation, the mechanical team executed a structured pre‑commissioning programme, including:Rotational checks of pumps, fans, and motors
  Verification of alignment, vibration, noise levels, lubrication, and hydraulic systems
  Pipeline pressure testing, leak checks, and inspection of coatings
  Functional testing of valves and mechanical equipment
  Confirmation that all plant was installed in accordance with manufacturer requirements
  Supplier representatives supervised or reviewed pre‑commissioning of dryer‑specific equipment to ensure readiness for system commissioning.
