WASTE TO ENERGY PLANT DOHA

Launching the world’s largest capacity tower crane into the Middle East

PROJECT OVERVIEW

In 2007 the Government of Qatar awarded a contract to Singaporean-based Keppel Seghers to design and build the world’s largest fully integrated waste to energy (WTE) plant. At the same time, Marr were designing what would become the world’s largest tower crane – the M2480D – and the two projects came together in what would be a game changing moment for the heavy lift industry.

THE CHALLENGE

Faced with the challenge of how to lift and install mechanical components within a heavily congested construction area, the problem with big crawler cranes (the traditional approach) is they take up a lot of room on the ground, often necessitating shutting large sections of the construction site down.

OUR SOLUTION

Although Keppel Seghers had a tower crane in mind as the solution, the crane for the job didn’t yet exist. But as luck would have it, Marr’s was designing a super-size heavy lifting crane that would supersede the need for big crawler cranes on large-scale construction projects similar to the WTE plant.

THE RESULT

With a greater lifting capacity of 330 tonnes, the M2480D took up less room on the ground and eliminated the issue of onsite congestion caused by managing heavy lifts from multiple locations by allowing lifts from the site perimeter. The result for Keppel Seghers was a 30-50% lift in productivity.
