SOLUTION
Our Industrial Services division will supply the newly developed Furnace kit that will sit in the throat of the Furnace to allow a 50m high scaffold to be erected, so workers can access the burners, throat, and sides of the Furnace for non-destructive testing and repair works. The team will also erect a multitude of access scaffold structures to various elements of the power station to allow safe access for maintenance workers during the shutdown.
BENEFITS
The Industrial Services division offered the full turnkey solution from design to supply and install. The knowledge and experience of the team also provides the customer with confidence that we understand their requirements and importance of the work we are completing on such critical power network infrastructure.
The lightweight design of the furnace base also reduces manual handling requirements withing the furnace and with the combination of our aluminium planks used as working decks, this eliminates in excess 20 tons of equipment that is required to be erected by hand, in a confined spaced which significantly reduces the risk of fatigue and manual handling.
