Beck & Pollitzer Czech completed the complex installation of a curing oven system in the Czech Republic, demonstrating our advanced rigging capabilities in a technically demanding project. Our specialist team partnered with a leading European engineering company specialising in industrial plant construction to deliver this critical installation for a major building sector manufacturer.
Project scope and technical challenges
The installation involved six separate oven sections, each weighing between 30 and 40 tonnes. These precisely manufactured components needed accurate placement onto pre-installed rails inside the client’s production hall – an effort that was greatly complicated by tight spatial constraints, which prevented conventional ground-level access.
Engineering solution and execution
Faced with limited floor space, our engineering team developed an innovative overhead installation strategy, utilising a 500-ton mobile crane to access the installation site through the building’s roof. This approach required extensive preliminary work and coordination:
- Structural engineering assessments of both the existing building structure and crane positioning areas
- Precision planning to ensure accurate positioning onto the pre-installed rail system
- Comprehensive coordination with rigging specialists throughout the installation process
- Safety protocol development to manage the complex overhead lifting operations
Safety and compliance excellence
Operating under strict European safety standards, our team maintained rigorous safety protocols throughout the installation process. The project reinforced our commitment to operational excellence while managing the inherent risks of heavy lifting operations in constrained industrial environments.
Project outcomes
The installation was completed on time and within budget, enabling our client to proceed with their production schedule as planned. The precise positioning achieved ensures the curing oven system operates at optimal efficiency. This project exemplifies Beck & Pollitzer’s capability to tackle challenging industrial installations, combining traditional heavy rigging expertise with innovative engineering solutions and meticulous project management.
