The Steel Dynamics Engineering Division often has to create innovative solutions for onsite installation.
An example of such was the tilt-frame engineered for the Hammersmith Vortex Generator lift-turning operation. This tilt-frame took the vortex generator from the horizontal to vertical position, as shown below.
The tilt-frame helped to ensure a controlled movement of the huge vortex generator, positioning it correctly for the subsequent vertical lifting operation into the shaft.
Only by working together with all stakeholders, and creating risk assessments, method statements and lifting procedures can significant engineering projects, like the Hammersmith Vortex Generator be executed safely and accurately.
