Pre-assembly of the CO2 capture structure

We performed a pre-assembly inspection of a steel structure in Brevik, Norway. This is a supporting structure for a facility for capturing, liquefying, and temporarily storing CO2 emitted during cement production.

We supplied the 160-ton steel structure including statics and structural design, while respecting the specifics of this construction: Due to the high dynamic load, very robust HEM profiles and atypical heavy-duty gratings with a load capacity of 500kg/m2 were used, which is not commonly used in technological structures. At the same time, the structure had to be designed to accommodate the complex piping system that runs through the structure.

The Brevik facility is expected to be operational by the end of 2024, becoming the first large-scale facility of its kind in the world. Similar technologies for reducing CO2 emissions are also expected to be used in power plants, cement plants, steel and petrochemicals, helping to meet climate goals.
