Infinity Engineering is a dynamic, multi-discipline engineering consulting firm comprising of civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical capabilities, as well as advanced measurements services. This multi-discipline approach allows Infinity’s engineers to produce designs in open collaboration from project inception through completion.
Industrial Experience
Raw water Pump Intake
Structure - Conocophilips
Infinity provided civil and structural designs of a new firewater system for ConocoPhillips at the Clifton Ridge Terminal on the Calcasieu River.
Infinity prepared designs for the structural foundation (slabs, walls, bracing, etc.) required for the pump house and intake structure. The foundation included steel-reinforced piles and decking. Infinity also designed a sluice gate for water intake and a steel grated walkway for pedestrian use.
Bio-Diesel Facility Equipment
& utilities - IMTT
Infinity provided conceptual and detailed designs for the equipment and utilities required to operate IMTT’s new bio-diesel plant at their St. Rose terminal facility. Infinity’s scope included designs for approximately 10,000 linear feet of new lines to supply products to several docks, heated storage tanks, dock loading/offloading manifolds, and truck/rail loading locations. Infinity also provided electrical and instrumentation to support the installation. The dock piping design included all necessary containment features required by Coast Guard regulations.
Infinity provided engineering design and drafting for the following items:
Product and utility piping
Pumps, foundations, and structural supports
Power distribution, cabling, and conduit schedules
Load calculations, control system design, material specification
PLC programming to support the tie-in installation of the new bio-diesel plant.
Container Refrigerated
access - Port of New Orleans
Infinity was responsible for the civil engineering design as well as construction administration for the Napoleon Yard’s new refrigerated container storage area at the Port of New Orleans. Infinity’s design scope included the layout of the new container storage area, the foundation for new pavement, placement of protection bollards/barriers, and pavement striping.
The paving designs consisted of concrete on a compacted stone base, adhering to the Port of New Orleans standard details. The removal and replacement of the concrete required saw cutting, removing the old concrete, and excavating/trenching the base for new conduits. A new stone base was installed and compacted to 95% of maximum dry density at optimum moisture content. The stone base was encapsulated with an approved geotextile fabric.
The concrete has a specified design flexural strength of 900 psi and a modulus of elasticity of 3,000 ksi. The pavement system was designed for a cargo container live load of 1000psf.
