Triethylene Glycol Piping System – Brownfields Detailed Design

August 2024

Project Scope

In 2024 Biggs Design Engineering (BIGGS) completed a brownfield piping system design for nine Triethylene Glycol (TEG) reboiler packages across four gas plants owned by one of Australia’s largest coal seam gas companies. BIGGS provided comprehensive support throughout the project from initial process design review, development of a Plant3D model on a site point cloud scan, stress/flexibility analysis to ASME B31.3, procurement support of valves and instruments, and ultimately to the installation and operational success of the upgraded TEG reboiler packages.

The project was delivered in compliance with the client’s technical specifications including plant layout and piping system design, 3D model review procedures, stress/flexibility analysis, and human factors in engineering design.
BIGGS provided a range of mechanical, design and project management services that considered client requirements at every step.

Services we delivered included:

  • Pipe stress analysis in accordance with ASME B31.3, utilising Caesar II.
  • Pipe support design.
  • Plant 3D model and drafting of piping isometric drawings.
  • Review of client process design.
  • Multidisciplinary workshop facilitation for 3D model and constructability reviews.
  • Datasheet development and procurement support of mechanical equipment.
  • Project management from scope definition through to design completion and construction support.
