Case Study – Bitumen Extraction Control Center

SITUATION:

A Canadian oil sands producer planned an expansion to their production facilities in Northern Alberta. Smith LaRock Architecture was tasked with collaborating with the owner and their engineering procurement contractor to design the Control Suite for the new facility.

The bitumen production mine control facility was to be housed on the second floor of a new administrative building being designed by others. The initial phase included a control room equipped with operations consoles, plus room for expansion at a future date. The room was sized based upon recommendations and design considerations developed by SLA and its Human Factors consultant.
