ARCO - Crude Fractionation Improvement Project
Location:
Blaine, Washington
Description:
The client improved an existing unit necessitating the erection of a 286,000# vessel and a 424,000# vessel with a 6 month delay between lifts. For the first lift, Sicklesteel proposed utilizing a DEMAG TC2000 with 157' of main boom to set the vessel at a 45' radius. For the second lift, Sicklesteel proposed utilizing a LTL-350 (transilift) with 220' of main boom as the erection crane as well as two (2) AC615's to serve as tandem tail cranes to assist with rotating the vessel from the horizontal to vertical position. Sicklesteel provided lift directors and lift design, including a formal lift study, for the project. Sicklesteel saved the client $300,000 of crane costs and completed the project 5 days ahead of schedule.
