Steel structures of the cleaning unit within a 40,000 t grain receiving, cleaning, drying and storage complex.
Fabrication and erection of the steel structures of the cleaning unit tower and the conveyor galleries.
Task
The grain cleaning unit of the new elevator complex of Kryazh Elevator Company in Koziatyn — a 40,000 t grain receiving, cleaning, drying and storage complex. The process equipment is housed between the silos on a separate multi-level tower of the same height as the silos. A steel tower frame carrying the unit’s equipment, with platforms and stairs for maintenance at height, and the conveyor galleries linking it to the silos had to be fabricated and erected.
Solution
The tower was designed as a space frame: four columns with diagonals, maintenance platforms at each tier, flights of stairs between them. All elements were fabricated at our own facility to shop drawings with an anticorrosion coating, so on site they were bolted together and lifted by crane in sections. Erection was carried out by our own crews between silos already in place, with limited space for the crane and sections, so every lift was checked against the clearances of the adjacent structures. Once the tower was aligned, the unit’s equipment was brought onto the platforms and the conveyor galleries connected to it.
