“This required<br />

the Moscow ring<br />

road to be closed”<br />

Sandow, Texas Generator Lift<br />

Routine<br />

A new gas-fired power station was built at<br />

Flushing. <strong>Mammoet</strong> provided routine and<br />

heavy lift services for several clients working on<br />

this project.<br />

<strong>Mammoet</strong> provided a number of mobile telescopic<br />

cranes for the civil engineering work.<br />

<strong>Mammoet</strong> also provided a CC 2800 crawler<br />

crane, assisted by an AC 500 mobile telescopic<br />

crane to assemble the boilers. The 210 ton<br />

boiler modules were transported to the site on<br />

intercombi trailers, after which <strong>Mammoet</strong><br />

installed them with cranes.<br />

During the next stage of the project <strong>Mammoet</strong><br />

used SPMTs and Intercombi trailers to transport<br />

two generators (345 tons), two gas turbines<br />

(310 tons) and two transformers (275 tons)<br />

from the offloading yard to the site.<br />

JOB: HEAVY LIFTING FOR A NEW POWER<br />

STATION<br />

Moscow Generators<br />

<strong>Mammoet</strong> was commissioned to transport two generators<br />

(230 tons each) and a gas turbine enclosure (114 tons) to<br />

Moscow and install them in a power station.<br />

<strong>Mammoet</strong> Seumersteel transported the plant from the port to<br />

the site using conventional trailers. This required the Moscow<br />

ring road to be closed. <strong>Mammoet</strong> Europe then installed the<br />

plant. One generator and the gas turbine enclosure were<br />

skidded straight from the trailer onto the foundations. The<br />

second generator was lifted up with a portal and strand jack,<br />

rotated and skidded onto its foundation. The customer made<br />

some changes to the schedule and the <strong>Mammoet</strong> employees<br />

sometimes had to work under difficult conditions but the job<br />

was completed to everybody’s full satisfaction.<br />

We used our 500 ton gantry jacks to lift and transport<br />

a 300 ton generator at the Sandow power plant in<br />

Texas. The generator was originally faulty and had<br />

to be repaired. When completed, the lift plan<br />

had to be changed entirely to accommodate for<br />

new construction that was completed while the<br />

generator was under repair. A new three bay<br />

gantry tower lift system was designed. The load<br />

beams were made up of the “Troll beams”, gantry<br />

beams and convert mats for an approximate skid<br />

distance of 62 meters.<br />

The system had to be high wind stable and<br />

unfortunately, bracing could not be used do to<br />

the need to skid the generator between tower<br />

legs. The solution was to use moment connections<br />

in the top beams of the towers to achieve<br />

the needed stability both longitudinally and perpendicular<br />

to the lift beams.<br />
