Transformer and Switch Gear Installation

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.
