02CASE STUDIES

Seven cases.
Seven ways to make a solution land.

Each case starts with a real problem and ends with a result that can be checked.

CASE 01 / VERIFIABLE DELIVERY

Foreign-invested EPC: cold-connection pipe support tender

A time-critical international EPC tender with unclear site conditions. We were asked to price a cold-connection modular pipe-support system, proposed an optimised solution and delivered both design and price.

Context
International foreign-invested EPC tender, tight deadline, site conditions not fully defined.
Our role
Proposed a cold-connection modular support solution and optimised the selection and price to project conditions.
Deliverable
Cold-connection pipe-support solution plus a competitive tender price.

CASE 02 / VERIFIABLE DELIVERY

Steam-line insulation upgrade: lower heat loss

Ageing insulation on an existing steam line was losing too much heat. The brief: upgrade the insulation on the existing pipe, without replacing the pipe itself.

Context
Ageing insulation and excessive heat loss; upgrade on the existing line.
Design
Measured the existing thermal performance, compared high-performance alternatives, back-calculated thickness for equal heat loss, specified layered installation and sealed joints, and staggered the transition to remove thermal bridges.
Verification
Post-upgrade heat loss can be measured and verified.

CASE 03 / VERIFIABLE DELIVERY

Ethylene piping in confined space: integrated AES fire protection and insulation

Ethylene piping routed through a confined space required an AES fire blanket, while the line still had to meet process insulation requirements.

Context
Confined-space ethylene piping needed an AES fire blanket plus process insulation—two systems that could stack up and consume maintenance space.
Design
Integrated fire and thermal selection; layered build-up sized for the confined space and maintenance access; fixing and cladding design; thermal performance balanced with AES fire duration.
Value
One system for insulation and AES fire protection; buildable and maintainable in the confined space; compliant with AES and owner acceptance.

30 mm aerogel replaces 100 mm foam glass.
CASE 04 / VERIFIABLE DELIVERY

Large petrochemical tank: 30 mm aerogel replaces 100 mm foam glass

A large petrochemical ring-wall tank was specified with 100 mm foam glass—complex, difficult and costly. We combined radiative and conductive heat-transfer analysis, fire temperature simulation and cost-performance comparison into a complete design and execution path.

Original
100 mm foam glass: complex, difficult and expensive.
Analysis
Radiative and conductive analysis, fire temperature simulation and cost-performance comparison.
Outcome
Product temperature stayed within the 100 °C design value; external shell temperature was 54.5 °C at 26 °C ambient and 9 m/s wind; the aerogel layer also served as the fire barrier, verified for a 2-hour hydrocarbon fire.
Economics
Material and installation cost was RMB 350,500 versus RMB 639,900 for foam glass—RMB 289,400 (about 45%) lower; insulation volume down 70% and support steel down 77%.

CASE 05 / VERIFIABLE DELIVERY

Galvanised steel structure: system-wide cold-connection M&E installation

The project used galvanised steel, so no pipe support could be site-welded without damaging the coating. We delivered a system-wide cold-connection solution across civil, E&I and piping—no welding, no re-coating.

Context
Galvanised steel structure; no site welding on pipe supports to protect the coating.
Design
A complete cold-connection system; no site welding or re-coating; the original corrosion protection of structure and equipment remains intact.
Value
Protects the coating and cuts hot work; modular assembly is faster and easier to maintain; installed cost is significantly lower.

CASE 06 / VERIFIABLE DELIVERY

CX conditions: innovative cold connection and heavy-duty supports

A high-standard integrated project required cold-connection M&E systems with CX corrosion resistance. We worked with the client on coating solutions for confined-space components and completed structural checks for long-span, vertical heavy-duty supports.

Context
Cold-connection M&E systems with CX corrosion resistance; coating confined-space components was difficult.
Design
Joint development of a coating process for confined-space components; structural checks for bending, shear, normal and shear stress on long-span vertical supports; load calculations and support drawings issued.
Value
A tested, innovative coating process and execution plan; a reliable cold connection matched to the tower structure; local equipment coating protected; withstood a Category 12 typhoon.

EN 14399 beam clamps: AVL sourcing alternative

A UK-standard green-energy project used cold-connection beam clamps under EN 14399. The owner’s AVL named only one German supplier, with a long lead time and a high price. We defined the specification, load-tested potential suppliers and created a competitive tender strategy.

Context
Only one German supplier on the owner AVL, with long lead time and high price.
Design
Defined the underlying requirement and technical specification; load-tested potential AVL suppliers; issued load calculations and support drawings.
Value
Created a competitive tender; pushed the incumbent on price and lead time; saved more than 50% of material cost, with flexible, controllable delivery.
