Team:

01 Mechanical Engineer;

01 Lift Supervisor;

02 Gantry Operators;

01 SPMT Operator;

03 Riggers;

02 Topografer.

Advantages

No Additional Civil Works Required

• Use existing civil structures;

• Performance in Facility built;

• Hydraulic gantries system setting-up.

Before

Fast Track - No interference in the project’s dynamics.

Advantages

Reduction of time frame and costs

comparing with other methods

Crawler Cranes

02 Cranes of 1,350 and 400 tonnes capacity;

Impossible to perform completely indoor;

Area required;

USD 1,5 million;

Time.

Overhead Cranes

340-tonne overhead crane / 25 to 30 meters;

Cost USD 4 million – Equipment + Extra costs

(Assembly + beams bearing structure);

Time;

Operational risks.

Critical Points

Accuracy in synchronized

movement of 6 legs

Scaling the main lift beam considering

interferences in the runway track assembly

Transfer of the load to the system

* Motor base limiting the pieces entrance

Accuracy on the settlement less than

5mm

Critical Points

Devices dynamic efforts (sizing and

positioning on the piece)

Critical Points

System scaling to enable lift about 14

meters high and special slings.
