ACCESS TO POWER PLANTS
Given that access into furnaces is very restricted, Tractel has developed special maintenance cradles that are designed in kit form and readily assembled once inside on portable floor panels and rigged with suspension and safety ropes. These engineered kits are made from lightweight aluminium, which can be fitted through the ash pits, manholes or even the access doors, minimising furnace down time and ensuring maximum performance.
Maintenance cradles also exist for the regular inspection and maintenance of plant stacks.
ACCESS TO OIL INDUSTRY DERRICKS
Many dramatic accidents can be avoided when hoisting a technician to the derrick crown onshore, by letting the technician control his own movements, by remote radio, the Tirak hoist located above him.
It’s a compact unit, approved by OSHA for man riding, easy to install and is developed by Tractel specialists in the USA and Europe.
ENGINEERED MAINTENANCE PLATFORMS
Tractel has designed and installed special engineered maintenance platforms for nuclear power stations that are used not only for regular maintenance of the cooling towers but also for the tensioning of the wire cables and monitoring of radiation levels.
