Assembly and delivery of a sintered exhaust gas purification system for Siemens VAI Linz
The indidvidual construction areas
Our service included the supply and assembly of 230 tonnes of filter housings, 805 tonnes of steel construction, 89 tonnes of silos, 140 tonne entrained flow reactor, 280 tonnes of piping and ducts. In addition, approx. 360 tonnes of technological equipment (LU SVAI) were assembled. The supply and installation of approx. 8,500 m² of insulation and 4,500 m² of cladding were also included in the SGS scope of supply.
Our challenge
Our SGS team not only assembled the entire plant, but also took charge of the entire delivery (except for technological equipment), insulation and cladding. The logistical handling was a special challenge and was solved as follows: Pipes with a diameter of up to 4 metres were delivered by ship. Pipes with a diameter of 6 metres were pre-assembled in a workshop and then transported to the Voest plant site. Our SGS team pre-assembled parts of the reactor (weighing up to 68 tonnes) on the ground and lifted them 45 metres using a 500-tonne truck-mounted crane. Our biggest challenge was integrationg the new exhaust gas purification system into the existing building. 120 hours were planned for the implementation and in this time, our SGS team dismantled approx. 120 tonnes of ducts (4x4 m) in a very confined space and installed new pipe sections (Ø 4 m). Completion fell short of the specified time and the plant was put into operation on schedule.
