The Year in Infrastructure 2007 - (Page 133) Red Lion SAR Facility mecs, inc The Red Lion SAR project is a spent-acid regeneration facility located at a petroleum refinery in Delaware City, Delaware. The facility is owned by a Fortune 100 chemical company and is constructed on land leased from the refinery at the perimeter of the property. During detailed design, the engineering team used Bentley software to constantly review progress, which allowed team members to view the layout of the facility and make changes to streamline construction, operation, and, ultimately, future maintenance throughout the life of the plant. By using the visualization software on a daily basis, the 3D modelers were able to reduce interferences by 50 to 75 percent before even using the clash-detection software. Off-Shore Platform P53 Quip s.a. Located 120 kilometers off the Brazil coast and moored at a depth of 1,080 meters, this floating producing unit (FPU) platform will have the capacity to produce and process 180,000 barrels of gas a day and 6 million normal cubic meters of gas. The FPU will not stock the produced oil and gas in its tanks, as they are immediately transferred to other platforms. Quip S.A. developed the FPU P53 platform and presented all review sessions using Bentley Navigator, which gave the engineers and technical team access to 3D visualization so potential problems could be identified in advance. This was the first 3D visualization initiative in Brazilian offshore projects and now other Brazilians EPCs are starting to adopt this concept. BE AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE 133
