Civil Discipline Engineering department in Foster Wheeler Energia Oy takes care of the construction of foundation, steel frame, platforms, cladding/roofing, HVAC, elevator, hoist and central vacuum system of the boiler building.

The goal of the thesis was to compile a design manual for the department to ease up the startup of the design of a new project and standardize the design. Main objective was to gather together all the existing guidelines, standards and directives regarding the design of a boiler building and put together a library for the existing, acknowledged detail pictures and typical structure pictures.

This project was executed by studying the available databases, standards and directives in Foster Wheeler and by gathering together relevant information. AutoCAD- pictures for the detail- and structure picture library were updated from existing thesis and from databases of previous boiler projects. Finished manual was uploaded to the Foster Wheeler’s databases to be easily found and accessed.

This public report of the thesis is very limited, because of the confidentiality agreement.

The originally set goal of the thesis was achieved and manual is in use at the Civil Engineering department. Additional development of the manual is still required, because of the vast scale of the project and because of a limited schedule. More extensive upgrading of the manual is still needed and some of the detail and the structure pictures are still to be updated. Also the information already gathered needs to be complemented and updated from time to time.
