Project 1 of 3 — Optimization of industrial ducts for a commercial building
A 12-story commercial building had recurring blockages in its gravity ducts for solid waste, causing unscheduled stoppages in the basement production plant. A structural and flow diagnosis was required to reduce maintenance costs by 30%.
A waste flow analysis was performed using CFD modeling and a visual inspection with industrial endoscopy. Accumulation points were identified due to inadequate slope design and poorly sealed joints in the stainless steel metal ducts.
Three critical duct sections were redesigned, adjusting drop angles and replacing sections with 8-inch polished stainless steel pipe. Inspection hatches were installed every 4 meters to facilitate predictive maintenance.
35% reduction in unscheduled stoppages and an annual savings of $12,500 in corrective maintenance. The client reported a 40% improvement in waste flow efficiency, validated through continuous monitoring over 6 months.
From the initial request to the final delivery, we follow a structured flow to ensure technical precision at every stage.
We review the duct and industrial conduit plans to understand the needs for heavy material evacuation.
We model waste behavior in production plants to optimize the efficiency of gravity systems.
We prepare a detailed cost breakdown for the installation or repair of metal ducts and industrial conduits.
We inspect the integrity of gravity conduits and evacuation systems to comply with safety regulations.
We implement continuous monitoring to anticipate failures in metal ducts and reduce downtime.
We deliver complete technical documentation with recommendations to optimize the material evacuation system.
