#Howwedoit - Installing boiler modules at a combined cycle power plant

Installing #Boiler modules is no easy task, requiring specialist lifts and #Tools with high levels of control and precision. Here we’re showing you exactly #howwwedoit, with an example from a #CombinedCycle #PowerPlant in #Khenchela, #Algeria. When the boiler modules are unloaded from the #Transport trailer, they are loaded immediately into the verticalisation frame. This specially designed tool, known as the #Strongback, allows the boiler modules to be reorientated as required for their function in the power plant. The strongback gives the required stability to the structure and enables the cranes to position the load, however it needs to be removed before the modules can be installed. The lift is unique in that the roles of the cranes change mid-lift. Two cranes, the CC22800-1 acting as the main #Crane and the CC2400-1 acting as the tailing crane, start lifting the module and frame, weighing a total 220T. After completing the verticalisation movement, a third support crane is connected
