    About the project

    The building, integrated in a classified area in the historical centre of Vila Real de Santo António, Algarve, was adapted, by Logica2, to more contemporary uses thanks to the redistribution of the spaces, restructuring of the floors and accesses, maintaining the solidity of the thick Pombaline walls and furnishing the openings with doors and frames identical to the degraded pieces removed. This rehabilitation was conceived and executed "from start to finish" by Logica2, which managed and executed the various specialities and arts with the historic pre-existences, avoiding inappropriate concrete solutions, all of which were monitored by IPPAR.

    Industrial engineering is concerned with the development, improvement, and implementation of integrated systems of people, money, knowledge, information, equipment, energy, materials, analysis and synthesis, as well as the mathematical, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems or processes.

    Our Client’s Challenge

    In October 2020, the TransGas Prud’homme Gas Storage Caverns in Saskatchewan were left ablaze after a significant explosion which occurred at the principal wellhead. Gas production from this facility is crucial during the winter when natural gas demands are the highest. It was therefore critical that the facility was repaired in time before the cold set in.

    Our Approach

    In order to meet the required schedule, TransGas delegated procurement and construction management services to WSP. WSP’s procurement procedures allowed for the selection of contractors and material suppliers in an efficient manner while still ensuring traceability for insurance auditors.

    Outcome

    The $4 million project was successfully completed in two separate phases with both phases coming in on schedule and the overall costs coming in under budget. Emergency repairs to the facility were completed on December 11th, 2014 which allowed for the facility to operate through the critical winter months. Permanent electrical repairs along with less critical site deficiencies were completed in April and May of 2016 when a longer facility shut-down could be tolerated.
