That’s why we deliver tailor-made engineering services and why we employ and develop highly-skilled engineers. MULTI serves three market segments: industry, building & infrastructure and maritime & offshore. We have projects throughout the entire life cycle of assets, from feasibility study up to decommissioning. Our services range from temporary staffing to full project management for designing, building or operating your assets. We have developed competence centres in different disciplines; steel construction is one of them. Owner DEME Engineering Office Multi Construction Period 09/2014 - 11/2014 MULTI was asked by DEME, one of Belgium’s largest dredging companies, to design and engineer a collector shoot with fall pipe that could be installed on a floating barge in Asia. The sand would be delivered by barges which discharge the sand into the collector shoot by conveyor belts. With the aid of a fall pipe (with a total length of 12 m below waterline) the sand could be placed very accurately onto the seabed. The engineering of the collector shoot and fall pipe were part of the scope executed by MULTI, followed by the delivery of production drawings and material lists for this project. SCIA Engineer was used to model and design the collector shoot and analyze the stress in different loading conditions; the environmental/ weather conditions needed to be considered during the engineering process. As the equipment would be for a single project the client requested that we engineer a solution that would be cheap and easy to build, taking into account local restrictions on experience and materials.
