Demolition pipe bridge of chemical plant

Last June and July we were able to contribute to the demolition of a pipe bridge at a chemical plant where, among other things, raw materials for insulation are produced. The pipe bridge could not be demolished just like that, because one part had to remain intact and was also in use. Partly for this reason, we created a lifting plan to carefully separate the first parts from the part that was to be preserved.

Task Risk Analysis and lifting plans.

In a pipe bridge, where cables run through in addition to pipes, it is important to proceed with caution. You can't start demolishing and bringing things down at random. That's why we looked at the work in detail beforehand. This showed that if we lifted off the first parts, we could demolish the rest with the demolition crane.

Finally, we got to work with our machines. First we lifted off part of the pipe bridge. When the pipe bridge was on the ground long, we demolished it into small pieces and transported it to an approved processor. We repeated this step several times, so that the remaining part of the pipe bridge became free and could be cut using the demolition crane with scrap shears.

Measuring piles after demolition

The pipe bridge was on a foundation with piles. We dug these free to 2 meters below ground level, demolished them and removed them. The remaining piles were measured. By measuring in relation to NAP, we map out exactly where and how deep the cut piles are. This way, the piles do not have to be removed in their entirety and future construction will take the old piles into account. Of course, we filled the resulting holes with supplied soil.

In total, the work took about 4 weeks. We can again say with confidence: Your project, efficiently executed.
