Calabrian Corporation commissioned BESTECH to provide engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) services for the innovative SO2CLEAN™ production facility in Timmins, which serves the mining, pulp and paper, and water treatment industries.

As the principal engineering firm, BESTECH was responsible for the comprehensive design and execution of the project, including land development, civil, structural, mechanical, and process control engineering.

SCOPE

Partnering with a construction firm, BESTECH managed the project’s procurement, contracts, scheduling, and cost controls alongside the construction process. The team developed a site plan that included site grading, stormwater management, and the construction of new pre-engineered buildings for utilities and processes.

The project featured a multi-story process train structure with a monorail system and various foundations for exterior equipment. Comprehensive site utilities were installed, including those for power, water, and gas.

Key installations included pressure vessels, a cooling tower, process storage tanks, and specialized sulphur processing equipment. BESTECH also integrated extensive safety and communication systems, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.

OUTCOME

The successful completion of the SO2CLEAN™ facility provided the region with a state-of-the-art production plant capable of supplying high-demand sulphur dioxide. The facility was equipped with advanced engineering solutions from extensive utility supports to sophisticated process controls and automation, enhancing its operational efficiency and safety.
