Given the highly flammable environment of the&nbsp;petro-chemical plant, and the nature of the products produced, strict safety and operating conditions were enforced on site. Working within facility requirements, Alimak provided a temporary access solution that allowed shutdown work to be completed within the designated timeframe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Providing access to the Reformer tower<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to complete necessary maintenance and upgrades to the facility on schedule, a means of transporting men and materials to the upper levels of the 43m steel Reformer Tower was required. An Alimak&nbsp;Scando&nbsp;rack and pinion hoist proved the perfect solution, meeting size, weight, capacity and height requirements on site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alimak engineers designed and manufactured unique brackets with&nbsp;extra long&nbsp;ties to fasten the mast sections to the tower\u2019s irregular steel structure, in accordance with&nbsp;petro-chemical plant safety requirements. In addition, extended landing platforms were fitted at the 33m and 37m landings, providing a safe walkway from hoist car to tower.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meeting plant safety &amp; operating requirements<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Installation and dismantle of the temporary rack and pinion hoist&nbsp;was&nbsp;carried out in compliance with strict site working regulations, with Alimak technicians monitoring the use of all power tools and completing work within pre-arranged time frames.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Details<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Location: Petroleum Refinery, Australia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Product model: ALIMAK SCANDO 12\/20<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Application: Refinery shutdown, temporary hoist<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. of landings: 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capacity: 1200 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Car size: 2.0 m x 1.5 m<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed: 40 m\/min<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lifting height: 37 m<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GALLERY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"262\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/11\/Petroleum-Refinery-Australia-Gallery-module.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"715\" data-link=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/?attachment_id=715\" class=\"wp-image-715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/11\/Petroleum-Refinery-Australia-Gallery-module.jpg 262w, https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/11\/Petroleum-Refinery-Australia-Gallery-module-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"262\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/11\/Petroleum-Refinery-Australia-Gallery-module-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"716\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/11\/Petroleum-Refinery-Australia-Gallery-module-2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/?attachment_id=716\" class=\"wp-image-716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/11\/Petroleum-Refinery-Australia-Gallery-module-2.jpg 262w, https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/11\/Petroleum-Refinery-Australia-Gallery-module-2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"262\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/11\/Petroleum-Refinery-Australia-Gallery-module-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"717\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/11\/Petroleum-Refinery-Australia-Gallery-module-3.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/?attachment_id=717\" class=\"wp-image-717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/11\/Petroleum-Refinery-Australia-Gallery-module-3.jpg 262w, https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/11\/Petroleum-Refinery-Australia-Gallery-module-3-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":718,"menu_order":18,"template":"","meta":{"_trash_the_other_posts":false,"editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"project-category":[],"region":[268],"industry":[10],"class_list":["post-713","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","region-australasia","industry-oil-gas"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Petroleum Refinery - Alimak Australia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/alimak.com\/au\/project\/petroleum-refinery-australia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Petroleum Refinery - Alimak Australia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A temporary Alimak rack and pinion hoist was installed at the petroleum refinery, providing access to the Reformer Tower during plant shutdown and refurbishment.
