Challenge

The hatchery needed a plant to settle and dewater the sludge from its water treatment system: an elevated GRP settler, a dewatering shed, a platform with canopy and sludge pipework, all inside an operating facility.

Solution

We modelled the plant in Revit from the hydraulic IFC model, designed the steel structure and foundations, and produced every drawing from the model: foundations, reinforcement, steelwork, stairs and connection details.

Tools

Revit, IFC, AISC 360, ACI 318, NCh 433 (Chilean seismic code).
