When our client – a leading processor and exporter of refined copper and precious metal by-products – decided to replace the plant’s decommissioned heat exchange vessels, they contacted Marr for a heavy lift craneage solution that could be completed safely within a scheduled shutdown and without disruption to operations.
We work with our clients to find a craneage solution that works – no matter how big or complex the job is.
Working over a live refining and smelting plant with limited space, during a scheduled shut down – the question was how quickly and safely can we turn this around with as little disruption to operations as possible?
Employing the Marr Crane Mat System and one of our Marr 2480D tower cranes to dismantle the structures in large manageable pieces (weighing up to 180t), our approach minimised the risks associated with working at height with limited space on the ground.
With less lifting and a quicker deconstruction program, the overall risk on the project and to plant operations was reduced. Our solution allowed the refinery to return to production earlier than originally planned.
