AMI was contracted to provide engineering services for the design of upgrading a slurry screening system. The current system utilized antiquated technology that required a large amount of maintenance and manpower to maintain throughput and efficiency. The new system was designed to use new screening technology that provided less maintenance and manpower to operate along with higher throughputs to provide a redundant system. AMI employed the latest Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, 3D modeling software, and 3D scanning tools to provide the client and contractor with reliable and clear information on the project. The project included the design and evaluation of new and existing slurry pipe and pumping systems, detailed equipment layouts in congested areas, sump evaluation, existing building structural analysis and retrofits, maintenance access design, proprietary sampling design, and electrical and controls coordination.

AMI worked closely with the client to compile a detailed RFP, scope of work, and bid documents. Throughout bidding and construction process AMI remained present to assist the client with bidder qualifications, managing the RFI tracking system, providing prompt responses to RFI’s, developing and overseeing QA/QC procedures, and engaging in regular progress meetings with the contractor throughout the construction process. Utilizing a unique workflow and the latest technology, AMI was able to focus attention on QA/QC and efficiency that led to zero change orders and a high-quality product.
