Project Overview — Precision Drafting for Heavy Industry
The BlueScope Steel Coke Plant No.6 Maintenance Project was delivered in collaboration with L.E. Otten, a leading engineering consultancy firm. The scope required comprehensive 2D drawings of the structural steel plant upgradation, encompassing both installation and manufacturing drawing packages.
Engineers used computer-aided design (CAD) software to create detailed visualisations of the furnace modification area and identify potential issues early in the project lifecycle. The installation and manufacturing drawings produced from this process were used directly by contractors to carry out the furnace modifications with precision and confidence.
On Time. On Budget. Built Right.
By leveraging 2D CAD alongside rigorous installation and manufacturing documentation, the project was completed on schedule and within budget. These tools enabled the team to identify and resolve problems before they reached the field — improving communication between stakeholders, reducing rework costs, increasing site safety, and lifting the overall quality of the delivered works.
Scope of Work — What We Delivered
The project involved a series of carefully coordinated tasks, each supported by detailed CAD documentation to ensure accuracy from design through to commissioning.
- Identifying potential design and constructability issues through 2D CAD review
- Creating installation drawings for on-site contractor use
- Producing manufacturing drawings for steel fabrication
- Supporting materials and equipment procurement documentation
- Documenting furnace modification construction sequences
- Assisting with testing and commissioning drawing requirements
Key Outcomes — Delivering Value Through Drafting Excellence
⚙️ Problem Prevention
Early identification of clashes and constructability issues through detailed CAD visualisation before work began on site.
📐 Drawing Accuracy
Installation and manufacturing drawings ensured all furnace modifications were carried out correctly the first time.
🤝 Stakeholder Clarity
Clear, precise documentation improved communication between engineers, fabricators, and on-site contractors.
🛡️ Safety & Quality
Thorough drawing packages contributed to increased site safety and a higher standard of delivered work.
Project Summary — Setting the Standard
The BlueScope Steel Coke Plant No.6 Maintenance Project stands as an excellent example of how well-executed installation and manufacturing drawings can dramatically improve the efficiency and effectiveness of complex engineering works. From concept through to commissioning, precise CAD documentation was the backbone of this project's success.
