29 Sep CRANE TRACK REPLACED
REPLACEMENT OF CRANE TRACK INCLUDING CONCRETE REPAIR
In the icy cold MIT replaced a crane track in Hendrik Ido Ambacht near Rotterdam. Of one of the two travelling gantry cranes our client intended to renew all travelling parts.
It was therefore desirable to renew the worn out and not correctly aligned crane track. The crane track was composed of a rail on a concrete surface on piles. MIT has presented and realized its plan in which the floor was completely stripped clean of steel plates and fasteners. After that, this new steel plates were mounted and grouted. On this basis a new supplied rails were placed in the correctly aligned position.
During this operation several spots in the concrete sub-structure were found in subsidence in such a way that it were restored right away and without loss of processing time.
The low temperature gave an additional challenge with regard to the curing time of the concrete and the grouting, so that the crane was allowed to be fully loaded again slightly later than intended.
The new crane track is checked with a final measurement and completed.
