Transformer and Switch Gear Installation
Pro-Tech Industrial Movers recently executed a critical project involving the relocation and installation of a 3000KV transformer and switch gear sections into an electrical room. This complex task was part of a broader development in the Lower Mainland, BC, and required meticulous coordination and logistical planning.
Key Project Information
- Project Type:Machinery MovingPre-Planning LogisticsProject Consulting
- Budget:$
- Timeline:
- Client:Molnar Group
Scope of Work:
- Machinery Moving: Transported the 13,200-pound transformer core and coil from on-site storage to the installation site.
- Crane Coordination: Hoisted the transformer with a Hiab at a 40’ radius and Kasen Crane at a 95’ radius through multiple floor slab openings with less than 6” clearance.
- Skating and Placement: Skated the transformer and switchgear sections approximately 200’ into the electrical room, navigating multiple slopes and overhead obstructions with less than 2” clearance.
- Assembly: Collaborated with site electricians to assemble the components and place the transformer onto vibration isolators.
Challenges & Solutions:
- Site Logistics: Managed a spread-out site over three city blocks, coordinating multiple stakeholders.
- Restricted Access: Navigated narrow roads and multiple slopes within the parkade.
- Clearance Issues: Ensured precise movement with minimal clearance, highlighting Pro-Tech’s expertise in tight space operations.
Overall Impact:
This project underscores Pro-Tech Industrial Movers’ proficiency in machinery moving, logistical planning, and project consulting. The successful installation of the transformer, despite significant challenges, demonstrates Pro-Tech’s commitment to precision, safety, and efficient project management.
