BOEING 17-06 DYE PENETRANT TANKLINE REPAIR
BOEING COMPANY; AUBURN, WASHINGTON
Casne Engineering provided electrical and controls engineering design services for the demolition and
installation of four Dye Penetrant Tankline tanks. The control systems were designed, tested, and
started by Casne for turnkey operation. The tankline consists of 104-feet long Alkaline Etch, Alkaline
Rinse, Desmut Dip, Desmut Rinse, Dye Penetrant, Spray Rinse, Powder Developer, and Dryer tanks. Casne
provided construction assistance and process programming with start-up services to meet a stringent
two-month deadline for construction implementation and turnkey delivery of the tankline. Casne provided
coordination of the construction to minimize tank down time and maintain current production levels.
BOEING HYDRAULIC POWER SYSTEM CONTROL
BOEING DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER; SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
This project consists of the design of a PLC-based control system and a PC-based SCADA system for
controlling eight hydraulic power units and miscellaneous instrumentation devices. The hydraulic
power units supplied 26 hydraulic fatigue test frames. The system is separated into three individual
hydraulic loops. Each loop could be monitored and controlled separately and independently from the
other loops. Casne Engineering provided all software programming for the PLC system, SCADA system
graphic screen development, Wonderware “script” programming for pump control and optimization,
network setup and configuration programming, field check-out and startup assistance, programming
documentation manuals, and operator and maintenance personnel training.
BURLINGTON NORTHERN AND SANTA FE RAILWAY COMPANY,
CLYDE YARD FUELING FACILITY;
CICERO, IL
Casne Engineering provided all software and SCADA system programming and commissioning services for the
control system automation of BNSF Railway’s fueling facility in Cicero, Illinois. The automation of the
existing facility included the addition of new storage tanks, pumps, fueling stanchions, and sanding system.
New instrumentation was installed for the control, measuring and monitoring of the new equipment.
Instrumentation included new flow transmitters, level transmitters, motor operated control valves,
pressure transmitters, and temperature transmitters. An Allen-Bradley PLC system was used for control
of the systems and a PC-based SCADA system using Allen-Bradley’s RS-View software was provided for operator
display, control, and monitoring. Casne Engineering provided the on-site construction assistance, field I/O
check-out and full commissioning of the control system. After complete testing of the systems,
Casne Engineering provided operator training and O&M Manuals with full documentation of all the control
system hardware and software.
