With all the points described, the contract is the basis of our collaboration.
04. CONCEPT DESIGN
Based on Design Specification and applied Design Codes we prepare Design Concept (GA drawing) and technical specifications for work conditions. We plan location and type of nozzles, manholes and other required elements.
05. BASIC DESIGN
Based on strength calculations we define thickness of all main structures (bottom, shell and roof). General assembly drawings show main structures, their connections, plans of nozzles, stairs and platforms. At the finish of this stage you will receive the requirements for interior and exterior painting, bill of materials for all main structures.
06. DETAILED DESIGN
We provide finite element analysis and final calculations for all structural and miscellaneous elements. Fabrication drawings consist of assembly and one part drawings of all elements. Erection drawings provide all information for installation including plans, sections and connection details of all elements. We also provide notes for inspection during the fabrication, construction and operational phases.
