Seismic Qualification of
Equipment and Structures
In these projects the seismic qualification of equipment, either through the review of manufacturer provided calculation notes or through the development of independent analysis is also carried out. For example: Steam Turbine –Generator Foundations and Coal Fired Boiler models for power plant projects (Angamos, Campiche, Coronel, Bocamina, Nueva Ventanas), and Large Electrostatic Precipitators for Pulp Mill Projects (Santa Fe, and Itata).
Members of the group have been part of the staff responsible for developing the Basic Engineering and preparation of the project civil and seismic specifications for bidding of the foundation of the main equipment (Turbo–Generator, Transformers, Stack, etc) of the power plant projects Central Colmito (for Central La Higuera S.A.) and Punta Colorada (for Compañía Barrick Generación Chile), both of them at the request of SCL Energía.
Members of the group have been directly involved as part of the Seismic Reviewer engineering staff in projects concerned with Port facilities. The scope of work developed includes the review of seismic risk study done and review of the seismic analysis performed. For example: the Expansion of the Iquique Port.
Members of the group have been part of the review team for the Post Earthquake Evaluation of Industrial Structures and Port Facilities. This includes the site inspection of facilities after earthquake events and the review of alternatives for repair / retrofit schemes for them.
Developed solution schemes for seismic revisions / retrofit of reinforced concrete buildings of large dimensions and irregular architecture (offices towers and commercial center) located in different seismic zones, for which the development of sophisticated finite elements models was required. |
