We develop pipeline isometric drawings for construction and also use Caesar II®
software to analyse pipeline flexibility and stresses according to ASME B31.3,
EN13480 and equivalent codes, to ensure that correct sizing of piping is used and
pipelines are supported correctly. Sizing and detail design of pipe supports are also
done.

Case Studies
Optimizing Engineering Assets over the Complete Lifecycle
DESIGN OF BOOSTER FAN DUCTING AND SUPPORT STRUCTURES FOR LYDENBURG SMELTER
Booster fans of furnaces A, B & C had to be replaced at Lydenburg Smelter. The ducting connected to
the booster fans had to be rerouted for the new fans. Drawings were drafted of new proposed routings
for the ducting. Pipe stress analyses were performed according to the ASME B31.3 code in order to
evaluate proposed routing for each furnace. Special care had to be taken to ensure that all components
are accessible for maintenance. The proposed designs were found to be adequate for its design intent.
Structural pipe support designs were also done for the ducting of each of the furnaces. The structures
were evaluated using Prokon according to the SANS 10162 code.
The client accepted the designs and it was constructed and commissioned at Lydenburg.

DYNAMIC AND STATIC STRESS ANALYSES ON GRP AND STAINLESS STEEL PIPELINES
Pipe stress analyses were performed on a number of pipes, some stainless steel and some GRP pipes,
that connects to an SO2 absorber tower (also made from GRP) at a paper manufacturing plant. The pipe
stresses were evaluated according to the applicable Design Codes (EN13480 for the stainless steel pipes
and BS7159 for GRP piping). The nozzle and support reaction loads were also obtained through the
analysis, for use as an input in the design of the support structures and tank nozzles. The loads
considered to act upon the pipelines included the, design pressure, pipe weight, product weight, tower
temperature, piping temperature, wind load, water hammer load and measured vibration effects.
Reaction loads on pump and vessel nozzles were also evaluated and compared to allowable values. The
pipelines and vessel were constructed and successfully put in operation.

Dynamic analyses were performed on the turbo-generator foundation system at Komati Power Station,
Units 6 and 7, using FEM (finite element methodology) analyses. The analyses considered the original
design configuration of the power generating systems, as well as for the proposed refurbishment for
which a new generator with a different mass was installed. Modal and frequency response analyses
were performed. The results of both these analyses indicated that the design was adequate: For the
applied dynamic loads caused by the rotation of the turbine-generator set, the maximum calculated
deformation of the structure was about 13 microns for the original design, and about 14 microns for
the refurbished design. These values were below the maximum allowable value of 31 microns. It was
therefore recommended that the proposed refurbishments (new generator) could be installed, and the
refurbishment was successfully done as such.

Optimizing Engineering Assets over the Complete Lifecycle
A number of relevant load cases were applied to each model, based upon expected working and
maximum loads that the structure would experience during its useful life.
The analysis results indicated what design changes needed to be made to the structure, as well as what
type of bolts would be acceptable for attachment of the baseplate to the machine. The modified design
was constructed and operates reliably in its working environment.

A structural analysis was performed on the chassis of a modified mining truck, for an Anglo American
mine. The mining truck was converted to carry 2 large generator sets on its back, as well as a cable reel
and stairs platform at its front.
Stability analyses were also performed for the truck for its new load configuration. Structural analyses
on the frame and stairs were also performed, to ensure that all structural components of the truck are
strong enough to safely carry the new loads over the intended life of the truck.

Modal and frequency response analyses were performed on a compressor skid that experienced high
vibration levels in service. A number of problematic natural frequencies and mode shapes were
discovered with the analysis. In particular there were high vibration levels cause by a 3” connection
pipe. This pipe was made more flexible by including 4 x 90° long radius bends in the routing. This change,
together with some other changes and improved fixing to the concrete structures, caused the vibration
levels to reduce significantly.

Dry casting pits – A combination of a cover and higher extraction rates should be applied to
improve the capturing efficiency.
Dry casting ladle – This ladle is basically too far removed from any suction hoods for the fugitive
gases to be captured efficiently.
Machine casting – For this region it was clear that a higher extraction rate makes no difference to
the extraction efficiency of the hood. When inserting covers, however, the capturing efficiency
improves by a quantum leap. For this case a better cover is recommended.
Matte launders and ladle – For these regions the extraction efficiencies were relatively good.
Additional covers did improve the capturing somewhat, but in general the same extraction
efficiencies can be obtained if the suction rates are increased.

PIPE FLOW AND WATER HAMMER ANALYSES FOR MEDUPI LP WATER SERVICES
Flow and water-hammer analyses were performed for LP (Low Pressure) Services at the Medupi Power
Station. AFT models were analysed of the Open Water Circuit, Unitized Water Circuit, Common Plant
Water Circuit and Water Make-Up Circuit.
All the relevant piping, fittings, valves, pumps, tanks, sumps, spray nozzles etc. were included in the
models. Flow analyses were done to determine flow rates to all recipients, orifice sizes for water flow
control purposes, maximum operating pressures in the lines, pump efficiencies, and water hammer
forces that could be experienced within the piping system due to activities such as pump start-up, valve
closure, pump trips, etc. The LP water systems were constructed as per the analysed design, and
functions effectively.

DESIGN OF ROLL-OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES (ROPS) FOR SAFARI TRUCKS & LDVs
Roll-over protection frames were designed for Safari Conversions (Pty) Ltd. The passenger safety
was assessed in accordance with SANS 1563:2005.
Resonant Industrial performed the 3D modelling services and generated manufacturing drawings
of the ROPS frames for various LDVs (“bakkies”) as well as for a Hino truck.
The design and drawings were accepted by the client, and the rollover frames were manufactured
and installed.

It was furthermore determined that the buckling failure occurred due to a combination of overheating,
as well as the fact that the stiffening rings on the duct were inadequate. Hence more stiffening rings
were added to the design, which increased the resistance to buckling failure with a factor of 4. The
design changes were made and the ducts performed reliably after that.
Optimizing Engineering Assets over the Complete Lifecycle
Without any additional stiffening, the allowable length of a vertical crack of the tank cylindrical shell
would be 25 mm. If however a 25 mm thick stiffening ring is installed 100mm above the bottom plate,
the allowable crack length would increase to 70 mm. The 25 mm stiffening ring was thus added to the
tank.

DEVELOPMENT OF A MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR A MINING TRUCK BASED ON THE RCM METHOD
The RCM (Reliability Centred Maintenance) methodology was used to determine the functional failures
and failure modes of the haul truck, from which comprehensive maintenance tasks and frequencies
were developed for the 20 most critical sub-systems of the truck.

ERP system of the mine.
