Power Plant Stack Decommissioning and Rigging Picture


R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services, Inc. performed the decommissioning and dismantling of four (4) gunite lined steel stacks from the top of PSEG’s Glenmont, New York Powerhouse. The 20 ft diameter, 170ft tall stacks sat on top of the 165 ft high building roof for a total height from the ground of 335 ft. R. Baker & Son working together with PSEG Engineering and Lomma Crane decided to utilize a M760 ton Favco tower crane erected on top of the powerhouse to be utilized for the lifting and lowering to ground of stack sections. R. Baker & Son erected and installed a base for the Favco tower crane and tied it directly into the building’s column lines. A 500 ton hydraulic Demag was utilized to hoist workers in a certified man basket over 350 ft. in the air in order to perform rigging and dismantling activities

ASSISTING CUSTOMERS WITH PRECISION DIS-ASSEMBLY AND RE-ASSEMBLY

R. BAKER & SON - EXPERTS IN PRECISION DIS-ASSEMBLY AND RE-ASSEMBLY

With precision dis-assembly and re-assembly, many details need to be taken into consideration. If equipment is to be relocated, it must be pre-determined where equipment will be split, and into how many sections, to properly prepare for packaging and transport. Every movement and opening – elevators, doorways, windows, roof openings, etc. – must be plotted, because the smallest opening is always a primary concern.

When factory testing of complex interconnected equipment is required, you should consider having the same layout at the FAT(factory acceptance test) as you have in your facility. This allows you to ship and reuse all
piping, wiring, flex hoses and all other equipment connections rather than do it twice. This can save considerable time, money and effort for your project.

If existing equipment is being relocated, this is the ideal time to replace defective parts, gasketing, and old or worn items. Involving the factory is a big plus, and you might even be able to have the manufacturer agree to extend their warranty.

The manufacturer must dis-assemble equipment and package all parts properly, clearly identifying each for re-assembly at the new location. If equipment is to be shipped by sea or air, proper packaging is necessary to prevention moisture intrusion, which is a concern that is more common than you might think. All fluids, media and product materials must be removed immediately after factory testing is complete before equipment is shipped. A quality contractor can ensure that all of these important steps are taken.

R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services recommends that, when dealing with large, complex equipment, customers should have a factory-trained tech provide basic consultation on how the equipment was packaged, how it should be assembled, and whether there are any specific steps that should be taken during or following assembly. Also, manufacturers sometimes require a factory tech to witness and document certain steps during assembly. Though factory consultation might add to your project costs, it is money well spent. Having to take equipment apart later because something simple was missed at assembly can be an expensive show-stopper.

If you have chosen wisely, your contractor will do far more than just rigging your equipment into place when it arrives on site. Whether installing new or relocating existing equipment, they should be fully knowledgeable on every project detail, asking all the right questions, and can assemble all of your systems – piping, electrical, controls, compressed air, nitrogen, hydraulics, etc. – to startup readiness.

Make sure your contractor has plenty of related experience, with expert mechanics and millwrights, and can guide you through the complex process from start to finish. Whether you are installing pharmaceutical modules, lyophilizers, equipment trains, tanks, generators, chillers, boilers, green technology, or even a large piece of art, your contractor should be your quality partner for success.
