United Bulk Terminal — Transfer Magnet Monorail Engineering
Industry: Ports & Terminals | Service: Lift Planning & Rigging Engineering, Structural & Mechanical Engineering Location: United Bulk Terminal, Davant, LA — C1–C2–C6 Transfer Tower The Challenge As part of the terminal’s expansion to add a parallel C2 conveyor alongside the existing C1, United Bulk Terminal needed magnetic separators installed at the C1–C6 transfer to […]
Derailed Coal Stacker Recovery — Emergency Structural Engineering and Lift Planning
Industry: Energy & Power | Service: Lift Planning & Rigging Engineering, Structural & Mechanical Engineering The Challenge Extreme high winds swept through a power plant stockyard and propelled an unsecured coal stacker down its track, through the end stops, until it came to rest on a hillside. The stacker’s yard conveyor truss and drive house […]
HRSG Harp Replacement Engineering — Heavy Lift Support System for Gas-Fired Power Plant
Industry: Energy & Power (Gas-Fired) | Service: Lift Planning & Rigging Engineering, Structural & Mechanical Engineering The Challenge HRSG units are designed for approximately 20 years of service life, during which the harp tubes are exposed to high temperatures and corrosive conditions that cause leaking and efficiency loss. At this gas-fired power plant, six large […]
Cogen Power Plant Monorail Design for HRSG Harp Replacement
Industry: Energy & Power (Cogeneration) | Service: Lift Planning & Rigging Engineering, Structural & Mechanical Engineering The Challenge A cogeneration power plant required the removal and replacement of heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) harps. The project presented two distinct challenges: first, the harps came in a variety of sizes and geometries, making a single-design monorail […]
Coal-Fired Power Plant Monorail and Support System for Deaerator Replacement
Industry: Energy & Power (Coal-Fired) | Service: Lift Planning & Rigging Engineering, Structural & Mechanical Engineering The Challenge A coal-fired power plant needed to remove and replace a deaerator tank. A monorail support structure was required to execute the lift, but the available support conditions presented multiple constraints: the only overhead steel available was designed […]
Power Plant Monorail Engineering for Equipment Removal
Industry: Energy & Power | Service: Lift Planning & Rigging Engineering, Structural & Mechanical Engineering The Challenge A power plant needed to remove and replace aging equipment, requiring the design of two separate monorail structures to facilitate the lifts. Both monorails had to fit within tightly constrained spaces and work within the limits of existing […]
