Project Value
Scope of Work
SHEP Engineering successfully completed the design, fabrication, and installation of a custom generator canopy alongside the rehabilitation of an industrial exhaust system. The project aimed to improve equipment performance, reduce noise emissions, and extend the operational lifespan of the generator setup.
Our team delivered a precision-engineered steel canopy designed to protect the generator from harsh environmental conditions while maintaining optimal ventilation and accessibility for maintenance. The existing exhaust system was upgraded and realigned to ensure efficient gas flow and compliance with mechanical engineering standards.
Scope of Work
- Custom canopy design and fabrication using durable structural steel and soundproofing materials.
- Installation of generator canopy with proper ventilation and noise-reduction components.
- Exhaust system rehabilitation — included pipe replacement, realignment, and anti-corrosion coating.
- Onsite assembly and welding performed by certified mechanical fabricators in accordance with ISO and AWS standards.
Technical Details
The project utilized high-quality carbon steel and specialized soundproofing foam materials to fabricate a durable, weather-resistant generator canopy and to rehabilitate the industrial exhaust system.
Fabrication and Materials
- Material Used: Premium carbon steel sheets and profiles for canopy structure and frame reinforcement.
- Soundproofing: High-density acoustic foam insulation to minimize generator noise and vibration.
- Protective Coating: Anti-corrosion primer and polyurethane finish for long-term durability and rust protection.
- Welding Process: MIG and arc welding performed by certified mechanical fabricators to ensure precision and structural integrity.
Exhaust System Rehabilitation
- Removal of worn exhaust components and realignment of piping for optimal gas flow.
- Replacement with carbon steel exhaust piping designed for high-temperature resistance.
- Installation of vibration isolators and heat-resistant seals to enhance system efficiency.
- Application of heatproof coating to reduce corrosion and extend component life.
All fabrication and installation processes complied with ISO 9001 quality standards and AWS D1.1 welding codes, ensuring reliability, performance, and safety.
