3D Engineering Surveys Limited (3DES) has been awarded the Dimensional Control contract at Europe’s largest Oil Refinery Total Energies Antwerp. As a tier one contractor for Total Energies, 3DES has a scope that is complex and ambiguous, over a 6-month program Total Energies is planning to execute its largest ever turn-around (TA).
This is now our fourth major TA scope in as many years means that our team is well prepared for the fast pace and technical nature of the work with our accurate measurements ensuring first time hook-up with each TA being completed within the proposed schedule on each occasion.
3DES has recently commenced our involvement in this latest project by mobilising a team to Gijon in Northern Spain to carry out the precise survey of the Total Antwerps' new reactor fabricated by IDESA at their fabrication workshop.
Due to critical nature of the work, with a requirement for highly accurate results, 3DES mobilized a highly skilled team including Samuel Verth MSc MRICS with 24 years’ experience surveying in the oil and gas industry along with our TA specialist David Cade with 40 year + experience. The survey was carried out using a precise total station for critical interfaces and laser scanning for the general geometry of the reactor. A big thank you to IDESA for assisting our surveyors with safe access during our visit.
