Barrett Burston Malting is a major supplier of malt to the domestic and international brewing industry. Brunton Engineering and Construction were engaged by Barrett Burston Malting from February to December 2014 for the Geelong Kiln Modification project. 

This upgrade converted the facility from existing low-efficiency, high-emission NOx burners to a modern system of NOx-free high performance Varinox heaters and Glass Tube Heat Exchanger units supplied the Swiss company Flucorrex. Specifically this involved: 

- Laser point cloud surveys of the existing site to accurately model the existing site and provide the basis for 3D models of the final structure and full fabrication drawings;

- The fabrication of over 110 tonnes of structural steelwork comprising large welded beams and multi-story access stairs and platforms spread across two kilns;

- The fabrication of large, fully-sealed stainless steel ducts to enable the air processes on both kilns;

- The installation of proprietary equipment including three large air heaters (5m W x 4m H x 8m L) and 44 packs of extremely delicate bundles of Glass Tube Heat Exchanger units at heights up to 20m;

- Construction during production periods before a shutdown period of four days where the old process was swapped to the new process;

- The co-ordination of multiple trades such as electricians, plumbers, heater technicians, cladders, sheet-metal workers, riggers, crane operators.

The project was completed during an around-the-clock shutdown in 2014.

V/LINE

RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE

V/Line provides train services and manages rail infrastructure throughout regional Victoria. 

Since 2013 Brunton Engineering and Construction has completed a number of projects for this organisation including:

• The manufacture of steel trough decking bridges at Shepparton (160m), Inglewood (100m), Ballarat (15m) and Maryborough (15m) as well as the installation of the Inglewood bridge ahead of schedule during a 54-hour rail occupation;

• The fabrication and supply of many different bridge bearing plates, walkways, handrails and miscellaneous steel components;

• The supply and installation of railway gantries and associated civil works on the Warncoort siding;

• The design, supply and installation of platform shelters at various stations on the V/Line network.

These projects have all been completed in accordance with rail environment safety standards during periods of both full and partial track occupation by Rail Industry Worker inducted personnel.

A time lapse video was produced to capture the assembly of the gantries in our workshop prior to installation at site.

• The installation of hundreds of containers of equipment from Japan based on a high-precision set-out in the 2012 Engine Shop upgrade.

• Continued maintenance of the Engine Shop using our support labour since that time.

​

Working with respect to critical production schedules, often in periods of limited time and extremely short notice, has been instrumental in developing our company's shut-down mentality.

GOULBURN MURRAY WATER

MILDURA WEIR COFFERDAM

Goulburn Murray Water manages water-related services in a region of 68,000 square kilometres, bordered by the Great Dividing Range to the south, the River Murray to the north and stretching from Corryong in the east to Nyah in the west.

Brunton Engineering were engaged by GMW from February to May 2013 for the supply of movable cofferdam to enable repair works on the Mildura Weir, during this project our company:

• Produced a 3D model and a full set of fabrication drawings based on preliminary engineering designs by GHD;

• Fabricated over sixteen tonnes of structural steel using a variety of certified welding procedures;

• Fitted two sluice valves, ten large steel castors, four sets of truck landing gears and two submersible hydraulic jacks to allow the cofferdam to run across the existing ridge in the river floor;

• Custom-designed and manufacturer a davit crane and hoist that allowed equipment to be safely lowered into the work area;

• Tailored a serious of rubber seals and flaps to seal the cofferdam to the river floor and restrict the surrounding river from accessing the work area;

• Successfully transported the cofferdam across a lock to the dam runway using a variety of truck and crane configurations and completed installation ahead of schedule in less than five days

A time lapse video was produced to capture the installation phase.
