ScaffoldingProject for Tempa Rossa Flare

Gas flaring

In the course of standard oil and gas operations, Tempa Rossa plants don’trequire gas combustion: the total amountof extracted gas is converted into methane, LPG, liquid sulphur and fuel.

Nevertheless, a flaring structure was built as a safety system: in emergency and shutdown situations the small pilot flame is automatically activated and burns the gas to prevent hazards to the employees and public.

The project by numbers

Height: 131 metres

Volumen: 9447 m3

Weight: 120.350 kg

A scaffold was required to assemble the flaring structure.

Scaffolding technical features:

Phase management with PON CAD

For this scaffolding project, Teknopont used PON CAD software, developed by MEC CAD.

Bill of Materials with PON CAD«Thanks to ‘Bill of Materials’ command, I supervised the scaffolding weight step by step, through every assembly phase, and I provided our customer with accurate data.»Eng. Riccardo Amela

The importance of drawing with PON CAD

«This was my first project with PON CAD software: nevertheless, I learnt to use it in a few time and managed to complete Tempa Rossa project successfully. This meansthat the software is very easy to use.»

«The precision of the drawing allowed me to anticipate problems and prevent themfrom occurring: for instance, I saw which beams and pillars of the Flaring structurewere to impact on standards uprightness and to interfere with ledgers and braces.I found solutions for such problems while drawing and, when the works begun, webrought the correct amount of scaffolding equipment to the site and every workerknew what to do and how to do it.»
