BESPOKE ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS
RCS is equipped to provide engineering solutions & temporary work designs to
facilitate bespoke lifting operation and Machinery Movements.
All designs & solutions are completed by our in-house structural engineer.
Tandem Lifting With
Porta Gantries
Problem:
A large mole hole served as our
delivery route to
basement levels
for numerous plant and machinery.
The positioning and size of the mole
hole brought a
unique challenge, as
no porta gantry system could
provide a sufficient safe working
load and none had
a beam span
long enough to cover the hole
and
pick
the load from the ground floor
Solution:
A scaffold bridge was designed
&
built spanning the
mole hole, with
an even distance for load-landing
and
load-picking. A 1200mm
adjustment to the porta gantry
legs
enabled use on the scaffold bridge.
This unique practical
solution saved
thousands for the client, enabling all
deliverie
s
to basement levels.
Cooling Tower
Access
Problem:
To assemble the cooling towers,
safe access on all four sides of the
towers
was critical, yet unavailable.
Solution:
Scaffolding would not suffice due
to
wind loadings, so a temporary
deck
was built over the cooling
tower
base frame using timber
sleepers.
The deck was designed to
take the
weight of a Mobile
Elevated Work
Platform (MEWP).
Landing Deck For 7
Tonne Lift Motors
Problem:
The team had to lift seven-tonne
lift
motors to level 37
& position
them
inside the lift motor room
within the
north
core. With only
tin
decking in
front of the lift motor
room
doorway,
land
the lift motors.
Solution:
A landing deck capable of
withstanding heavy point loads
was
designed & built to land and
skate
the lift motors on.
The deck
was
formed
using box-section
steel,
scaffold boards,
ply & steel
tracking
plate. The load was lifted
using site
tower cranes, landed
onto
the
temporary deck
and skated into
the
final position.
