Power Gen Solutions

Applications

Enerpac has gained unique expertise in delivering hydraulic solutions for the controlled movement and positioning of structures.

Foundation Created for Offshore Wind Turbines

Enerpac’s Synchronous Hydraulic Lifting System is used to create a support for offshore wind turbines with impressive precision and timing.

Lifting an Underground Mining Truck to Fix a Flat Tyre

Changing a flat tyre on heavy machinery is one of underground mining’s most hazardous and time-consuming maintenance tasks, often taking up to 12 hours to complete in confined spaces with sloped surfaces.

Turbine Lift and Load-in at Shipping Port

A Siemens gas turbine arrived at the Samsun Sea Port destine for a new 600MW natural gas combined cycle power plant in Samsun, Turkey. The 482 ton turbine needed to be lifted and loaded onto a SPMT in order to be transported to the Cengiz Enerji power plant.

Controlled Tightening on Dump Truck Suspension Struts

The maintenance team needed to replace the suspension strut bolts on 777F, 785D, 789D and 793F dump trucks. Due to the confined location of the suspension struts there was limited space for accessing the bolts. Existing methods of using flogging spanners often took several hours to replace the nuts, caused minor injuries to hands and the torque was not accurate.

Mining

Synchronously Lowering an 80 ton Yacht

A multi-million dollar luxury sailing yacht was jacked-up two meters to perform renovations. After the retrofit, the yacht needed to be lowered in order to be transported back to the water. Although the yacht was built of carbon fiber, it still weighed 80 tons. And the weight was not evenly distributed; the back was heavier than the front. The uneven distribution of weight posed a serious challenge to safely lowering the yacht.

Ship Building

Safe, Synchronous Lifting of TBM with Super Boom Lift Gantries

Hoban Construction and Daelim Corporation required a lifting and transportation solution for their Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) assembly, which would be used to excavate tunnels.

Undecking an Electric Rope Shovel in a Copper Mine with a Jack-up System

Elko Wire Rope, a privately-owned provider of manufactured rigging products in the mining industry, selected Enerpac’s JS-500 Jack-up System to undeck an electric rope shovel at a copper mine site located in Southwestern USA. The entire upper works of the rope shovel needed to be lifted for an inspection on the bearings and have maintenance repairs performed. The machine weighs approximately 1,500 tons, requiring lifting with significant force and control.

Releasing Shackle Pins on a Lifting Frame with a Battery-powered Hydraulic Pump and Cylinder

Safely Releasing Furnace Bricks from a Steel Fixture

Vesuvius processes the bricks which are used to the line the interior of an industrial furnace. The bricks begin in a "soft" state and need to be compressed, hardened and heated before they are installed in a furnace. A steel box is filled and compressed hardening the bricks. After compression the bricks stick to the steel fixture and a significant amount of force is needed to release the bricks from the steel fixture.

Manufacturing

Transformer Installation with a Hydraulic Gantry

Roll-Lift was tasked with transporting and installing a transformer at a sub-station in San Angelo, Texas. Transported to Texas by rail, the 330 ton transformer needed to be transferred from the drop deck railcar to a heavy haul truck in order to be delivered.

Power Generation

Leak Free Connections on Critical Joints with Hydraulic Tensioners

The maintenance teams at the Wallumbilla Gas Treatment Facility were assembling several gas processing and treatment pipelines. Each flange bolt required a precise amount of tension in order to ensure a leak free connection.

Oil and Gas

Offshore Highway Construction - Lifting Challenges

The offshore highway is of a multi span bridge structure located in the open sea 100m to 200m from the shoreline. Each bridge pier consists of various concrete components, one of which will be a reinforced concrete, gravity base, which is placed on the seabed.
