Owner Suikerunie Architect SPIE Controlec Engineering General Contractor Suikerunie Engineering Office SPIE Controlec Engineering Construction Period 02/2014 - 08/2014 This project involves the construction of a steel and concrete structure consisting of three Pulp Press machines. These machines will press the sugar juice out of the sugar beet shreds. This construction consists of three floors; the ground floor, the first floor, the top floor and an additional structure to support a conveyor. The Pulp Press machines are located on the top floor. The Pulp Press machine has a weight of 140 tons with some dynamic impact/loading, and the conveyor has a weight of 20 tons at a height of 24 m. The task was to design a structure for three Pulp Press machines and a support for a conveyor. The result of the design has to be input for the building permit and for the construction phase of the structure. The new structure is built in a brown field situation. The time schedule was very important; the structure has to be built in the sugar beet harvest off-season. The ground floor has to be accessible for trucks and lorries. The design of the process has been worked out in SCIA Engineer. The structure has been completely modeled with 1D beam elements in 3D. The project has been successfully completed and will become operational in September 2014, before the harvest of the new sugar beet. SPIE Controlec Engineering
