Our Brownfields Project Flow in Action
At Ingenia, we excel at navigating the complexities of brownfield projects, ensuring safety, compliance, and efficiency at every stage. A recent project exemplifies this expertise as we undertake modifications to a mixing plant to accommodate a larger mixing tank. This work involves structural adjustments, modifications to the area’s bund and significant safety improvements, including enhanced forklift mezzanine access and improved lifting procedures.
This project goes beyond an expansion to the production area by means of a platform extension; it’s about creating a safer, more productive environment that reduces inefficiencies, improves access, and minimises manual handling. We achieve these outcomes through our tailored brownfields approach:
- Spatial Site Scan and As-Built Model: We begin with an onsite Point Cloud scan, creating a precise 3D As-Built model of the site. The model is representative of the real world and does not rely on existing drawings you might (or might not) have available.
- Preliminary Design: Leveraging the As-Built model, we develop a conceptual layout that progresses to a preliminary model and drawings generated for approval.
- Safety In Design (SID): Depending on the project’s size and complexity, we conduct a formal SID workshop to review, identify, and document new risks.
- Detailed Design: Once approved, we advance the design to a detailed level, preparing it for construction.
Throughout the process, from concept to detailed design, we apply our Safety in Design (SID) methodology, addressing both design decisions and risks identified during the design phase. For complex projects, we hold a formal, facilitated SID session with the project team to review and address any emerging risks. This proactive approach allows us to identify and mitigate operational risks, such as manual handling issues, before construction begins, ultimately reducing overall costs.
Ingenia’s brownfield project flow is designed to tackle sites with limited documentation, providing accurate as-built models that streamline design and reduce construction expenses. Our commitment to safety, compliance, and innovation ensures that every project we complete meets the highest standards.
