[Haichuan Overseas Engineering] Successful lifting of Module 1C for the No. 1 waste heat boiler in the Kassim II project in Saudi Arabia

Thread Content

On November 26, the 1C module of Boiler No. 1 for waste heat recovery, part of the Kaisum II installation project in Saudi Arabia and constructed by Zhejiang Hengdian Construction Co., Ltd., was successfully lifted and placed in position, marking the official start of the installation work for Boiler No. 1. It is reported that the waste heat boiler modules for this project were designed and manufactured by NE Company; a total of 3 such boilers are installed, with each boiler comprising 15 modules. The lifting is carried out using 700-ton crawler cranes, while the cranes used for unloading and lifting the modules are 500-ton crawler cranes. Once the module has been turned 90° vertically, the 700-ton crawler crane slowly lifts it. At this point, the turning frame requires the assistance of a 260-ton crawler crane along with a 500-ton crawler crane to prevent it from tilting; once the module passes above the top of the turning frame, it is then slowly placed on the ground. The modular lifting of the waste heat boiler is the most important and critical step in its installation, requiring high precision and safety standards for the lifting operations. Furthermore, to ensure smooth lifting, the project management team carried out thorough planning and technical briefings. During the lifting process, the operators in various positions worked together in coordination; the lifting equipment operated smoothly, and the entire process was safe, orderly, and efficient.
