The Brief
Foredowel Group was appointed to remove and refit a new heat exchange system during a planned shutdown period, where timing, planning and accuracy were critical.
The project required careful preparation due to extremely restricted access, with only a few millimetres of clearance available to safely remove the existing system and install the replacement unit.
The Challenge
The removal and installation process required a carefully considered lifting plan due to the limited working space available around the equipment.
With only a couple of millimetres of room to manoeuvre the system out and back into position, the project demanded precise planning, controlled lifting and close coordination throughout.
Our Solution
Foredowel developed and carried out a planned approach to safely remove the existing heat exchange system and refit the replacement unit within the shutdown window.
The team carefully managed the lifting operation, positioning and refit to ensure the system could be installed accurately despite the restricted access and tight tolerances.
