HRSG Rail Offload
Edwards Moving & Rigging offloaded (32) HRSG modules from incoming rail cars at a job in the Midwest US utilizing our 700 ton Gantry System.
When an Edward’s client sold two gas turbine generators to a power plant in rural Kentucky, it wasn’t long before they realized that delivery of these mega-sized components would present a multitude of challenges. Edwards Moving & Rigging would develop a comprehensive plan over several years that would culminate in an on-time, on budget delivery despite record breaking snowfall and a multitude of challenges.
Challenges
Navigating through construction with load clearances of less than inches on each side. A governor declared state of emergency for record snowfall.
The removal of 55′ of guardrail. A 20 foot box culvert within view of the final destination, would need shoring and cribbing.
