Energy from Waste Facility
Introduction
In the industrial sector, the choice of access methods and equipment plays a critical role in project efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This case study highlights a successful project undertaken by Sutro Group for an Energy from Waste Facility, focusing on the installation of chain blocks. The project demonstrated how innovative access solutions can dramatically reduce time and costs while enhancing operational effectiveness.
Benefits and Savings
The project, which was initially estimated to take five days with scaffolding, was completed in just a twelve-hour shift.
Avoiding scaffolding not only saved time but also substantially reduced costs associated with material and labour.
The use of beam clamps and aid climbing reduced the risks associated with scaffolding, promoting a safer working environment for the team.
The quick installation of chain blocks enabled pipefitters to lift their pipework into place efficiently, minimising disruption to ongoing operations.
Project Overview
The project involved the installation of chain blocks at the Energy from Waste Facility to facilitate the lifting of pipework. The workflow was structured as follows:
- Preparation: Sutro Group’s team conducted thorough planning and risk assessments, ensuring that all safety protocols were established for the aid climbing operations.
- Aid Climbing with Beam Clamps: Skilled technicians employed aid climbing techniques using beam clamps to reach the required position efficiently. This innovative approach allowed for swift access to elevated areas without the need for scaffolding.
- Chain Block Installation: Once in position, the team successfully hauled up the clamps and chain blocks, providing the necessary equipment for the pipefitters.
- Final Checks: After installation, the team conducted thorough checks to ensure that all equipment was securely in place and ready for use.
Conclusion
The Sutro Group project for the Energy from Waste Facility exemplifies the effectiveness of innovative access methods in industrial operations. By leveraging aid climbing techniques and beam clamps, Sutro Group not only achieved remarkable time and cost savings but also enhanced safety and operational efficiency. The successful completion of this project demonstrates the potential for modern solutions to revolutionise traditional processes and serves as a model for future projects in the industry.
This project highlights the importance of adapting to client needs while prioritising safety and efficiency, setting a new standard for operational excellence in challenging environments.
