Valspar Chemical Plant, Singapore

AMEC Foster Wheeler Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. was appointed by Valspar (Singapore) Corporation Pte. Ltd. (Project Owner/Developer) to design and build a new production line. The project involves new additions & alterations to the existing production building, warehouse and tank farm, new 22KV substation, underground firewater tank, fire water retention sump, fire pump shelter, cooling tower and additional tanks.

CKMbT was appointed as the architectural, civil and structural permitting consultant for this project. CKMbT reviewed the building, civil and structural plans, submission forms, design calculations, documents etc. and obtained approvals from all relevant Authorities (URA, ENVCBPU, BCA, FSSD, LTA, NParks, PUB, etc.). CKMbT’s scope of work includes pre-consultations, meetings and liaising with all relevant Authorities until all DC, BP, TOP and CSC clearances and approvals have been obtained.

The key challenge in this project was developing a design complying with current regulations while considering the serious constraints of a plant built to previous versions of regulations. CKMbT worked closely with our customers, asset owners and presented feasible and safe compliance regime that was approved by local authorities.
