Nabors Rig Design 125/126

This was a three year project to convert a partially complete legacy 2D AutoCAD design into full 3D within Inventor.

This project took place during a build of two sister rigs at the RKO Steel LTD. facilities in Dartmouth Nova Scotia between 2008 - 2010.

In addition to the information contained in older CAD files, the process of updating and capturing the remaining design was documented from the concurrent fabrication and then modeled.

My job was to coordinate all the design capture, 3D modeling & drafting for the project.

From the 3D model a complete set of fabrication drawing were created for this project. After the project was procured by Canrig Canada the entire project was then completely replicated in SolidWork at their request.

The model pictured here shows a majority of the finished project and contains approximate 40,000 parts. This model requires a computer system with a minimum of 16 GB of RAM to open it.

Nabors Mud Tank Designs

Nabors Rigs 125/126 had a two 'Mud Tank' configuration consisting of a 'Mix' tank (pictured here) and a 'Shaker' tank.

The design of the piping systems for this style of tanks was never properly documented. Some old 2D CAD drawing, hand sketches and pictures were all that existed.

This design was fully captured and the piping refined in Inventor Routed Systems. Piping systems shown here includes; the main manifold, suction lines, vacuum lines, drop gun (spray washers), pre-charge system, upper and lower hopper table systems, Skimmer systems, Water and steam lines. It also includes all necessary supplier equipment modeled and in place.

In addition this design also features a functional drop roof system and handrails that can be lowered for transport.

TC-44 Fuel Tank Designs

Pictured here is a rendering of a Transport Canada compliant TC-44 fuel tank design. Modeled using 'Skeletal Modeling' and iLogic programing in Autodesk Inventor which enables the model to be modified and adapt quickly to design changes.

Repersented here is a 50,000L version of the tank. Due to the nature of how this design was modeled, I was able to recreate both a 40,000L & 70,000L variations complete with fabrication drawings in less than a day.

Miscellaneous Steel Products

Development of a completely adaptive line of miscellaneous steel products in Inventor.

These models were developed using 'Skeletal Modeling' and iLogic programming and served as templates. Once needed the template is used to create a new version of the design that prompts the user with a form to fill in the desired design criteria.

Such things as component quantities and spacing are automatically calculated and the model updates. These templates take into account any Building Code or municipal requirements and ensures the design conforms. All fabrication drawings also update accordingly.

Such templates developed include; interior and exterior stairs, roof ladders, ship ladders, handrails, door frames, bolt and pit frames, bollards, etc.

Tension Membrane Architectural Structures

Shown below is a typical Tension Membrane Structure constructed using modular truss and purlin framing components. Each truss section has its own strip of polyvinyl chloride membrane which is tensioned during installation.

(End panels have been removed to show structure.)

These types of structures can be seen all over Nova Scotia at Department of Transportation sites.
They were installed to replace the aging tar shacks used for road salt storage.
