laundry of The Hilton Hotel, NEC, Birmingham. With the doorways openings
being insufficient, W. Finch assisted engineers to strip it into 4 individual
6 ton components, build ramps, and maneuver over a 1m window sill.
The Hilton said they were impressed with the efficiency and attention to
detail towards the public, especially as the work took place at the entrance
to the Hotel.
W.Finch were contracted to load this Nitrogen plant in Hampshire on to suitable sea freight. The Cold Box which
stands 18.3m tall, weighing 24 tons
requires tandem lifting, and laying over.
Slingers need to access the slinging
points which are 18.3m from the
ground in a Bosun’s chair. Planning
is paramount when carrying out tasks
such as tandem and personnel lifting,
and as W.Finch are required on a
regular basis to plan and effect intricate
lifts, they are expanding their knowledge
and experience.
The remainder of the plant consisted of 2 x 24ton Warm End
Skids and 2 x 40’ containers of associated plant. All loaded
and dispatched in one 8 hour shift.
W. Finch were contracted to deliver air conditioning plant to Swnidon, and crane lift them into position within a plant area. All equipment was collected prior to this from France and Plymouth, held in store,and delivered to Swindon on a Saturday morning.
The aperture in the roof for the new chillers was insufficient. W. Finch designed, built and tested a bespoke lifting frame which was used to rotate & manoevre the chillers through 90 degrees allowing them to be lowered through the roof opening and into postion.
Whilst the operation was very time consuming, the lifting frame eliminated the need for serious disruption to the building and its services.
