The image showcases an industrial facility where the C-Blower Room forms a crucial part of the plant’s air handling and utility infrastructure. Designed by Engineers at Purna, this structure reflects a strong integration of civil fundamentals, structural engineering accuracy and process driven layout planning.
Purna Engineers successfully delivered the complete Civil and Structural Engineering for this facility. Followed by submission of all required construction ready drawings, enabling seamless site execution.
Role of the C-Blower Room in the Plant
The C-Blower Room houses critical equipment used for:
- Forced draft or induced draft air supply
- Process air distribution
- Cooling, conveying and combustion support systems
- Utility air balancing across the plant
Its structural configuration must therefore support heavy static loads, dynamic vibrations and equipment access requirements.
Precision Engineering in Action
From the alignment of steel arches to the framing of the curved roof geometry, the construction process demands a high level of detailing and execution. The even spacing of trusses, the consistent curvature and the intricate connection points highlight:
