Local Service agreement outline
After the completion of the Grand News Project in 2000, UPM Chapelle Darblay, France, and Pöyry, signed an agreement to serve the mill's engineering and information management needs. Similar agreements had been made between local Pöyry Engineering offices and UPM mills in Finland, but for Chapelle Darblay Pöyry was not a local but a remote engineering office.
UPM and Pöyry have created efficient routines and working methods for the co-operation, allowing the work to be done with a flat organisation and high flexibility. Weekly video and net meetings, teleconferences and continuous reporting ensure steady progress of engineering and other activities.
Information and document management
The DocHotel electronic document management system is used for storing the documents generated from the ProElina database or produced otherwise. DocHotel is accessible anywhere at the mill and from Pöyry's offices. The latest revisions are available from the mill's official document management system.
The ProElina database is used for automation, electrical and process engineering. Mechanical and piping engineering is done with the 3D model for the new DIP3 plant and with traditional AutoCAD for other mill departments. The information exists in tables in the ProElina database from which it is generated into different kinds of documents, such as loop, circuit and PI diagrams. New or changed information thus needs to be updated in only one place, and the information is instantly available for any documents.
Minor rebuilds and maintenance projects
The water circuit modification carried out at Chapelle Darblay represents an example of a typical project implemented within the Local Service agreement.
When two deinked pulp lines were simultaneously in use at the mill, there was a lack of white water at PM1. Fresh water was used as make-up, but it had to be heated.
The mill had a video meeting with Pöyry's specialists to discuss the problem. Pöyry was asked to make a pre-study for which 80 hours were budgeted. The pre-study indicated that cooling water from PM6 could be used instead of fresh water. The payback time calculation showed the modification to be profitable.
Pöyry's scope of work included process, mechanical, automation and electrical engineering with an estimated 300 manhours. Knowing the mill well, Jaakko Pöyry found out that the existing pipelines from the closed TMP plant could be relocated and reused.
The result of the project was an improved process with lower fresh water and steam consumption. There were no travel costs as the engineering was done remotely in Helsinki and the project's payback time was only 70 days. |
