Process plants around the world share a common requirement in theneed for safe and efficient access to facilitate construction and ongoingmaintenance. Each plant and facility has its own specialist requirements.

We have built up exceptional insight into the servicing requirements of the oil and

gas industry, and of major process plants, from oil refining at the Shell Pernis

refinery in Holland, and Sabic’s refining and processing plants in Saudi Arabia, to

power generation plants in the USA and Tata’s steel mills in India.

Whether working on the construction of a new plant, routine maintenance or

emergency shutdowns, we develop a bespoke plan for each facility. Drawing on

the widest range of scaffolding and access solutions, we are able to provide work

platforms for construction and maintenance crews that enable maximum

productivity without compromise to safety.

Our belief in the value of planning-based maintenance has also led us to specialise

in a complete range of insulation services such as thermal, acoustic, heat control

and fireproofing. Insulation, access and additional services like corrosion protection

are often part of a multidisciplinary approach.

Harsco Infrastructure teams are often attached to each facility, many of them

working on site on a long term basis.

Project challenges

On 21st January 1890, two trains first

crossed the Forth Rail Bridge, travelling

across two and a half thousand metres

of track suspended nearly fifty metres

above the Firth of Forth. This feat of

engineering remains an iconic

structure and today requires equal

feats of

ingenuity to maintain. The exposed

location, the extraordinary structure,

190 train movements per day and the

busy shipping lane below, make this

famous bridge one of the ultimate

access challenges.

Insight onsiteTM

Scaffolding the bridge starts by reversing the conventional ‘ground-up’ approach.

The evident complexity of the bridge, built with more curves than angles, means

that every scaffolding member has to be individually designed, fabricated and

suspended in position high above the Forth. Access platforms then have to be

encapsulated in plastic sheeting, to prevent old lead paint being shot-blasted into

the environment, and to protect the new, glass flake epoxy paint from the weather

while it dries.

The bridge is well over a hundred years old, but it takes 21st century technology

and expertise to keep it in safe use, making our experience on live industrial

maintenance invaluable. We have already supplied two and a half thousand tonnes

of bespoke steel scaffolding and at least another thousand are anticipated before

the project is complete.

Our SCF (self-climbing formwork)

platforms were used to build the outer

structure of the 45-storey high- rise,

with its tapering, broadening and

angled slopes. The SCF platforms were

always safely connected to adjoining

vertically climbing platforms by

telescopic and sliding elements.

With a width of 3.25m, our platforms

provided an unusually deep and extra-

safe work platform, designed for a

dynamic load of 5.0kN/m2 (without

formwork). Every individual element

was designed to withstand a maximum

wind speed of 208km/h. The largest

single element used was a platform

14.5m long, supported by only two

brackets, enabling as many as eight

brackets (platform lengths of 55m) to

ascend simultaneously with retracted

formwork.

Combining leading-edge technical

expertise with world class equipment

and project support resulted in La Tour

Granite growing at a rate of one storey

a week. La Société Générale is now

doing business in 70,000m2 of

additional premium space.

Project challenges

Designed by architect Christan de

Portzamparc to represent the ‘prow’ of

a triangular site in Valmy quarter in the

Parisian business district and to link

with the existing twin towers of La

Société Générale, La Tour Granite is

184m tall. The key challenge in building

this icon in the latest generation of

skyscrapers was the façade slope of

eight degrees, designed to minimise

interference with the light and views

from the existing towers.

Project challenges

275 architecture firms submitted

tenders for the BMW Welt, and the

jury’s decision was unanimous. The

winning design was by Professor Wolf

D. Prix and the Viennese architecture

firm Coop Himmelb(l)au. Planning and

construction preparations began in

2003, for a unique ‘star-shaped corset’

bearing the load of a 26m tall

double-cone steel structure.

Insight onsiteTM

The traditional approach to a building of

this size and complexity would have

been to use large steel construction

columns and girders, but this would

also have applied extreme individual

loads to foundation slabs, and

unacceptable costs to the client. The

solution developed by Harsco

Infrastructure used the BOSTA® 100

frame scaffold, stabilising each of the

MODEX® props and, with the aid of

integrated lattice girders, ensured that

the total discharged load of 450 tonnes

was evenly distributed over the surface

of the foundation slabs.

In 2008, this multi award-winning

building, completed to budget and on

time, welcomed its one millionth

visitor.

Project challenges

The Shell Pernis refinery is the largest

in Europe and one of the largest in the

world. More than sixty different plants

with different refining capabilities process

products through pipelines that would

run about four times round the world.

The industrial complex covers a

surface the equivalent of 800 football

fields, making maintenance a massive

and ongoing operation.

Insight onsiteTM

Harsco Infrastructure’s on site team

averages 500 operatives, a figure that

rises to about 750 at peak times.

Planning-based maintenance includes

regular inspections and upgrades of

thermal and acoustic insulation,

fireproofing and heat control for the

miles of pipeline. Between 30 and 50

powered access machines are in use at

any one time, plus 20 telescopic

forklifts and 15 special aviation tow

trucks for transporting materials

around this vast industrial complex.

We have supplied 18,000 tonnes of

scaffolding on site, 97% of which is

constructed using CUPLOK®. This

makes a more effective replacement to

most of the traditional tube and fitting,

being faster to both erect and dismantle.

Project challenges

A joint venture between Shell and Saudi Aramco, the Motiva Enterprises refinery

in Port Arthur, Texas, is currently expanding to become the largest in America and

one of the top ten in the world. As part of this project, approximately 53 new

refinery modules are being assembled at Cianbro’s Modular Manufacturing Facility

in Brewer, Maine, each requiring a vast amount of scaffolding to set all the various

pipes and structural beams in place.

With very little continuity in design, as each module is different from the next,

there is only one-eighth of an inch margin for error as all structural, piping and

functional elements have to fit precisely. The harsh winters in Maine add to the

challenges of working outside at this scale. Finally, after each module is completed,

they travel by barge from Maine, around the Florida coast and then west to Texas.

O n c e

arriving in Port Arthur, the modules are assembled together to form the refinery.

Insight onsiteTM

Harsco Infrastructure’s own QES®

scaffold system was chosen for its

high levels of adaptability, which

m e a n s

different lengths and heights can be

accommodated without interruption,

and projected levels of productivity

can be maintained. Scaffolding

specifications for this vast and complex

project have, to date, drawn on 90% of

the component range. During winter

assembly, some modules were

wrapped in more scaffolding and

plastic sheeting to provide shelter from

the weather. The first four modules

were shipped to Texas on 26th March

2009. This mega-project will increase

the refinery’s current capacity of

275,000 barrels per day to more than

600,000 barrels per day.

The Hollywood and Vine project is

a 4.5 acre mixed-use development in

the City of Los Angeles, located at the

world-famous intersection of

Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street.

The $600 million development includes

luxury apartments, upscale retail space

and the W hotel. Harsco Infrastructure

was awarded the complete horizontal

formwork package which included over

two million square feet of elevated

deck ranging from 8’ to 40’ high.

Insight onsiteTM

Challenges on this project included fast

track work by both our design and

operations teams, involving 135 deck

pours, designed, stamped, formed and

poured in less than 12 months.

Because of the fast track requirement,

the contractor chose to use our

PRO-SHORE® system along with our

aluminum frame and beam system for

the high areas. The complete package

was delivered on budget and on

time. Over 166 truck loads of shoring

equipment were delivered, including

11,000 PRO-DECK® panels and 12,000

PRO-SHORE® posts. Three Harsco

Infrastructure engineers worked full

time for 11 months, and our Stamping

Engineer oversaw the production of

150 sheets of equipment layouts and

shoring design work.

Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport,

United Arab Emirates is one of the

world’s largest airport terminals, built as

part of a $4.1 billion expansion

programme to increase the airport’s

capacity to 70 million passengers per

year. The 1km long terminal building has

a curved steel roof over a complex

concrete frame and a substructure which

accommodates arrival and departure

halls, lounges, restaurants and parking.

The huge basement area was constructed

in an excavation 800m long, 700m wide

and 20m deep. The arrangement of floors

includes varying ceiling heights and open

voids making the construction of the

concrete structure complex to design,

plan and programme. The upper slab also

forms part of the aircraft apron and

therefore has to support the weight of

waiting planes.

Insight onsiteTM

Harsco Infrastructure worked with main contractor Al-Naboodah – JV to design and

develop a forming and shoring solution to meet the unusually tight project deadline.

The scale of the job was considerable involving the construction of over

1,000,000m2 of floor slab with thicknesses of up to 2.2m and ceiling heights of up

to 16m. Our GASS® aluminium shoring system was selected as the most

appropriate, cost-effective solution. GASS® is one of the most sophisticated

systems of its type, used on many of the worlds largest and most complex projects.

Over a 30 month period, Harsco supplied over 5,000 tonnes of GASS® and ancillary

products to the site.

Using the company’s experience on similar major international airport projects, a

specialist team of falsework designers were based with the main contractor on site

– supported by close management involvement from the UK. At the peak of the

project, our designers were producing over 300 drawings per month.
