SETTIMA – TRIPLE SCREW PUMPS * Quiet, smooth running High flows * ATEX Ex certified * Oils, Fuels, Chemicals Hoist & Winch, a leading industrial lifting equipment supplier, was approached to provide a comprehensive and robustly tested lifting solution for a specialist marine subcontractor. This application required the transfer of three large-diameter pumping station pipes – each weighing 30 tonnes – across the reservoir waters and up the inclined slope of its dam wall. This complex project required a triple-aspect approach. Firstly, to move each pipe across the water, Hoist & Winch had to supply, install, commission, load-test and LOLER-certify two air-powered chain hoists offering 20-tonne safe working load (SWL). The company proposed a pair of JDN top-hook suspension air hoists, each with its own load chain collector box, air service unit and air supply hoses. Secondly, Hoist & Winch was tasked with providing a similar package of services for a large-capacity hydraulic winch system. Here, the company recommended a 12t SWL floor-mounted hydraulic winch with wire rope, diesel-powered hydraulic power unit, joystick control stand and interconnecting hoses. The winch was required to pull each pipe up the inclined slope of the reservoir’s dam wall in conjunction with two rail-mounted travelling gantries (20t SWL) fabricated by the customer. Lastly, the customer wanted Hoist & Winch to supply four 15t SWL manual chain blocks. The Tiger top-hook suspension type manual chain blocks proposed by Hoist & Winch would support each pipe from the rail-mounted travelling gantries following transfer from the air hoists in readiness for winching up the slope of the dam wall. t: 08450 171126 – e: sales@hoistandwinch.co.uk – w: www.hoistandwinch.co.uk DAM WALL PROVES NO OBSTACLE COAX VALVES UK has announced it has introduced the new FMX range of compact, high flow, stainless steel externally controlled valves.
