DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF BESPOKE ACCESS PLATFORM TO REPAIR GAS CONDITIONING TOWER DUCTING
Tarmac
Issue: Overseen by our world-class engineers and following an initial detailed inspection of the GCT ducting by Zenith’s inspection team, extensive insulation and cladding repairs were required to the upper section of the ducting at the 127m level. Due to the isolated location of the ducting traditional scaffolding would prove onerous, time consuming and costly. Solution: With decades of excellence and expertise, Zenith’s world-leading engineering team designed a bespoke access platform for the uppermost section of the GCT duct to facilitate suitable access to undertake the insulation and cladding repairs. The platform, with a combined weight of 30 tonnes, provided full working access to the ducting from the 110m level to the 127m level. However, the entire scaffold support loading proved too high for standard tubes and couplers, so Zenith’s engineers designed an innovative fabricated support arrangement which was safely installed by Zenith’s experienced specialist access operatives. Subsequently, Zenith removed and replaced the defective insulation and cladding. As a multi-disciplined experienced contractor committed to excellence, Zenith has the ability to design and install innovative world-leading temporary access solutions as well as having all of the necessary in-house trades and skills to maintain and repair structures throughout the cement industry.
