Project Details
Design Challenges • Design for emergency rope load cases – energy release. Uplift on each raking leg base of 1940kN. • Designing a robust, yet light structure which is fit for purpose. • Keeping constructability of steelwork as a key focus area. • Ongoing model reviews with project team. Rigging studies to assess the feasibility of each lift. • Modular approach to design, fabrication and installation Site Based Challenges Safety • Preassembly • Erection of pre-assembled modules • Lifting in close proximity to other site activities Solutions • Headgear specification • Upfront planning with Fabricator and lifting team • Involvement in rigging studies • Design of rigging beams • Witnessing of load tests (Structural Engineer and Site Superv • Monitoring of lifting of each pre-assembled module
