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 deliveries 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.
