Hebei Chemical New Materials Project: 5,000-ton + 4,000-ton super cranes used together to lift a 207-ton naphtha distillation tower

Thread Content

The first large component of the Hebei Chemical New Materials project has been installed; a combination of 5,000-ton and 4,000-ton cranes will once again work together to lift the raffinate tower! ▼ According to CPECC First Construction Company, on December 5th, at the site of the Hebei Chemical New Materials Base project, the company’s large-scale equipment lifting and transportation division successfully completed the lifting of the first piece of equipment – a naphtha distillation tower that is 63.2 meters tall and weighs 207 tons, which was placed in position with precision. For this lifting operation, a 1,350-ton crawler crane was used as the main crane, while a 250-ton crawler crane served as the auxiliary crane; the combined effort of these two cranes ensured that the equipment was placed in its correct position. This achievement marks the official entry of this project into the phase of lifting heavy objects. To ensure the safe installation during this lifting operation, thorough preparations were made in advance: multiple rounds of scheme evaluation and efficient coordination on-site ； Thorough analysis, comprehensive risk assessment, and full-process control and supervision. Ultimately, there were no errors during the lifting process, which provided valuable experience for lifting equipment weighing 14,000 tons in the future, boosted the confidence of the team involved in the work, and offered strong support for the smooth progress of the entire project. Next, the project will proceed with the lifting of the key plant equipment: the raffinate tower. At that time, the MYQ 5000-ton gantry crane will work together with the 4000-ton crawler crane for the third time. Previously, this \"golden duo\" had successfully completed similar tasks in the projects in Guangdong and Panjin, and their departure once again is highly anticipated. In the subsequent work, the 4,000-ton crawler crane still needs to complete 7 safety transfers as well as the lifting operations for 7 pieces of equipment. Each task will be carried out in strict accordance with the operating procedures, ensuring safety while also paying attention to quality and progress, thereby laying a solid foundation for the project’s eventual commissioning.
