Beore maintenance projects can

start, precautions have to be taken -

machines and production lines must

be physically shielded to prevent

contamination or parts and materials

getting into the production process. All

our materials and equipment, including

scaolds, are specially cleaned beore

delivery and installation, and all our

technicians wear protective clothing

while on site, such as dust-ree

overalls, masks and overshoes.

Air-fows, work-fows and waste-

fows are also considered in an eort

to reduce the impact on the working

environment.

One o the ood-industrys key

requirements is that dust ormationmust be prevented during insulation

work. To comply with this, all our

insulation and cladding is as ar as

possible pre-abricated, and only non

dust-orming materials are specied.

In terms o plant, machinery and

technology, the ood processing

industry is becoming more

Our Preventive Maintenance

Programme (PMP) solutions are

based on a multidisciplinary approach

to maintenance or wellhead,

compression, production and satellite

platorms. We pre-abricate insulation

materials and supply site-specic

scaolding systems based on minimal

components or ease o erection.

To optimise labour costs on oshore

platorms, our operatives are

multiunctional - besides their expertise

in scaolding and insulating, they are

qualied proessionals in painting,

welding, tracing and rope access.

In oshore emergencies, it is vital that

sta are appropriately trained to take

immediate action to ensure the security

o all crews as well as the plant. All

our operatives are thereore required

to complete specic oshore training

programmes, including courses in rst

Logistical planning is equally crucial

to cost-eective work on oshore

At the start o each project, we work on

identiying customer specications and

carry out a risk-assessment, taking into

account the nature o the product being

generated at the site. Our extensive

experience with volatile substances

and working in hazardous environments

makes us a partner o choice or many

o the worlds biggest petrochemical

companies.

Scaolding erection, cladding,

insulation installation or removal, heat

exchanger cleaning and repairs are all

aspects o our work at petrochemical

plants. In addition to this we can also

inspect equipment, measure wall

thicknesses and undertake valve

expansion.

In a single production shutdown, any

combination o these may have to

be carried out beore production can

be restarted. Because downtime is

expensive, we take a tight and well-

disciplined approach, to guarantee that

no production stop ever takes longer

than strictly necessary.

Working together with our customers,

we develop long-term maintenance

schedules indicating priorities and

deadlines or months and years ahead.

The planning-based maintenance

approach prevents disruption and

expensive ad hoc solutions, resulting

in more controllable maintenance

costs. It also means reduced energy

consumption, while the pre-emptive

inspections or Corrosion Under

Insulation (CUI) reduce costs urther.

Harsco Inrastructure has proven

experience in new construction,

maintenance and turnarounds in

the petrochemical industry. Our

multidisciplinary approach enables us

to marshal and coordinate a whole

Opened in 1993, Peterborough Power

Station owned by Centrica Energy, is

a medium sized, gas-red plant with

an output o approximately 360MW.

Like most modern power stations,

Peterborough has an air-cooled

condenser grid which avoids the need

or clean water rom the local supply

and reduces the use o chemicals in

protecting the boilers and steam turbine.

We were approached to devise an

access solution or painting the main

supply pipes to the cooling grid. Access

rom below is made dicult by the

ragile condenser panels which extend

out at an angle below the pipes. Heavy

scaolding was also impractical due to

the lightweight structure o the cooling

grid which cannot support heavy loads.

Case study

c egy, Pgh Pw s, uK

Our solution was a pair o specially-designed mobile steel gantries supporting

conventional powered cradles. The cradles move both vertically and horizontally

along the gantry, while the gantries can be winched along the pipes on guide

wires. The gantries are mounted on two sets o o-set, jack-up wheels which

allow them to ride over the pipe ribs. The cradles can be lowered to the walkway

at the base o the condenser panels or easy access. Once work on each pair o

pipes is complete the entire gantry/cradle assembly is craned to the next row.

The entire assembly, painting and re-positioning operation is designed to be

carried out without aecting the normal operation o the power station.

Working with specialist abricator SBV Fabrications, we installed 11

MASTCLIMBERS. To access the 22 fat aces o the gas holder, we erected

single-masted platorms against each alternate ace and then re-erected them on

the remaining aces to complete the reurbishment.

Installation o the platorms was complicated by the presence o a large amount

o pipework, tanks and other obstacles at the base o the gas holder.

To overcome this, a 7m steel bridging structure was designed to transer the

weight o the masts to the ground. We also designed a special H-bracket to

tie the MASTCLIMBERS onto the gas holder without damaging the structure.

This is one o a number o term maintenance contracts which involves call outs

and shut downs either planned or emergency.

Steel giant Corus produced 3.5 million

tonnes o steel at its 3,000 acre Redcar

site every year and in the process

consumed high quantities o gas to

uel its urnaces. A crucial link in the

production cycle,the gas holder needed

to be periodically reurbished. We were

asked to devise an access solution to

allow grit blasting, panel replacement

and re-painting o the steel cladstructure.

th h r bg, s, uK

On 21st January 1890, two trains

rst crossed the Forth Rail Bridge,

travelling across two and a hal

thousand metres o track suspended

nearly 50 metres above the Firth

o Forth. This eat o engineering

remains an iconic structure and today

requires equal eats o

ingenuity to maintain. The exposed

location, the extraordinary structure,190 train movements per day and the

busy shipping lane below, make this

amous bridge one o the ultimate

access challenges.

Scaolding the bridge starts by reversing the conventional ground-up approach.

The evident complexity o the bridge, built with more curves than angles, means

that every scaolding member has to be individually designed, abricated and

suspended in position high above the Forth. Access platorms then have to be

encapsulated in plastic sheeting, to prevent old lead paint being shot-blasted into

the environment and to protect the new, glass fake epoxy paint rom the

weather while it dries.

The bridge is well over a 100 years old, but it takes 21st century technology

and expertise to keep it in sae use, making our experience on live industrial

maintenance invaluable. We have already supplied two and a hal thousand

tonnes o bespoke steel scaolding and at least another one thousand are

anticipated beore the project is complete.

Centre near Plymouth is the rst gas

red power station to be constructed in

the South East o England or several

years. The 400 million combined-cycle

power plant is being built by main

contractor Alstom Power on behal o

Centrica Energy. We were asked to

supply a comprehensive portolio o

access equipment, based on our recordo delivering sae and eective solutions

that meet programme deadlines.

We have provided a total o 200 tonnes o CUPLOK system scaold, two

MASTCLIMBERS and two 27m high mobile elevating work platorms (MEWPs).

The equipment was used to provide access or exterior cladding as well as or

plant installation and tting out o the main Turbine Hall and Heat Recovery

Steam Generator Building. Several large birdcage scaolds were created using

CUPLOK system scaolding to provide access to the underside o the distinctive

curved, roo overhang.

General contractor Strabag AG

approached us to develop an ecient

ormwork and scaolding solution with

prompt delivery o materials, including

various special ormwork solutions, or

this new power plant block.

The construction o the new Lignite Power Plant in Boxberg, is one o the

most challenging projects we have undertaken in recent years, both in terms o

ormwork and scaolding.

Sophisticated load bearing structures created rom our modular scaolding system

provided signicant savings in time and cost in the construction o the main

beams. Instead o bracing the building completely using rame scaold supports

at every level, orces were transerred using modular scaold towers arranged at

selected points. In this way it was possible to start other work on the lower levels

beore the nal storey was completed. Even where the production o the main

beams demanded a working platorm outside the building, this could be achieved

without diculty using system components.

Totals Lindsey Oil Renery at

Immingham is the UKs third-largest

renery, processing 200,000 barrels o

crude oil per day. For the construction o

their new Hydro Desulphurisation plant,

contractor Jacobs needed multi-purpose

access or all trades involved in this

complex project the largest o its type

currently under construction in the UK.

The project has involved the construction o approximately 10,000 scaold

structures utilising over 3,300 tonnes o scaolding equipment and up to

180 operatives. Key products employed were CUPLOK system scaolding,

conventional tube and ttings and a range o beams or larger spans.

Providing sae access or all trades, as well as the logistics o managing the supply

and welare o a large workorce in a relatively remote location, required careul

planning and constant liaison with all the project teams. Our solution included the

provision o a skilled, specialist management team based at our on-site compound

incorporating supervisors, administration, saety and logistics personnel.

Harsco Inrastructure now provides an access and insulation support service

which includes planned and unplanned outages.

A joint venture between Shell and

Saudi Aramco, the Motiva Enterprises

Renery in Port Arthur, Texas,

expanded to become the largest in

America and one o the top ten in

the world. As part o this project,

approximately 53 new renery

modules were assembled at

Cianbros Modular Manuacturing

Facility in Brewer, Maine, eachrequiring a vast amount o scaolding

to set all the various pipes and

structural beams in place.

With very little continuity in design, as each module diers rom the next, there is

only one-eighth o an inch margin or error, as all structural, piping and unctional

elements have to t precisely. The harsh winters in Maine add to the challenges

o working outside at this scale.

Harsco Inrastructures scaold system was chosen or its high levels o

adaptability, which means dierent lengths and heights can be accommodated

without interruption, and projected levels o productivity can be maintained.

Scaolding specications or this vast and complex project have, to date, drawn

on 90% o the component range. During winter assembly, some modules were

wrapped in more scaolding and plastic sheeting to provide shelter rom the

weather. Finally, ater each module was completed, they travelled by barge rom

Maine, around the Florida coast and then west to Texas. Once in Port Arthur, the

modules were assembled together to orm the renery. This mega-project will

increase the renerys current capacity o 275,000 barrels per day to more than

600,000 barrels per day.

SABIC, (Saudi Arabia Basic Industries

Corporation), is one o the worlds

leading manuacturers o chemicals,

ertilizers, plastics and metals. In Europe

they are a major producer o polymers,

chemicals and innovative plastics.

Their Wilton and North Tees chemical

complex in Teesside is one o the UKs

largest chemical plants, producing

ethylene, propylene and butadiene

as well as housing a major logistical

acility incorporating large scale storage

capacity, a cross-country pipelines

network and distribution and shipping

services.

To accommodate the maintenance

and upgrading o the plants Butadiene

Columns, SABIC required a 64m high

weatherproo access structure which

could accommodate the stripping,

cladding, painting and re-cladding o

these complex vessels whilst the towers

remained operational.

Working around live plant places heavy responsibility on designers, managers and

erectors and highlights our traditional strengths o saety, technical innovation and

attention to detail. To deliver the painting and insulation requirements rather than

opting or conventional tube and ttings scaold, we devised a solution using

CUPLOK system scaolding. Not only was this able to accommodate the many

pipe-runs connecting into the tower, it provided clear working platorms, ree rom

diagonal braces. It was also substantially quicker to erect the CUPLOK system,

saving the client time and money. The scaold structure was clad using the latest

breathable sheeting to allow or any plant leakage without compromising blasting

and painting operations, and topped with a ventilated roo structure spanningacross the towers.

To create weatherproo access solutions

in a exposed coastal environment or

the new build o a regasication plant or

customer Taylor Woodrow.

For the construction o this major new regasication plant in West Wales, we

developed and erected a series o weatherproo access solutions or the installation

o insulation or the tanks and pipelines. The insulation work had to be carried out

under protected and dry conditions a particular challenge in view o the exposed

coastal position o the plant.

Our solution was developed using a modular aluminium roong system. Despite

its light weight, it was able to span large widths. The structure was covered with a

translucent covering, allowing all work to be carried out in daylight with ull protection

against the weather.
