Mammoet lifts Dubai to greater heights with Ain Dubai

Jan.gearbox motor-reducer 13slewing drive , 2020 – gearbox Mammoet slewing bearing successfully gearbox completed motor-reducer its role in the construction of gearbox Ain  motor-reducer Dubai, the world’s gearbox tallest motor-reducer observation gearbox motor-reducer wheel.

Developed motor-reducer by slewing drive Meraas,gearbox  Ain Dubai sits on gearbox Bluewaters in motor-reducer the heart of motor-reducer Dubai and once gearbox  operational, it will motor-reducer slewing drive provide residents slewing bearing and motor-reducer visitors extensive gearbox views of the iconic city of slewing bearing Dubai and motor-reducer its shoreline.

In gearbox  slewing bearing 2014 motor-reducer Hyundai gearbox Engineering motor-reducer slewing bearing & Construction slewing drive (HDEC) motor-reducer, the main slewing drive contractor motor-reducer on gearbox the project, awarded Mammoet the slewing bearing heavy motor-reducer lifting contract to install the slewing drive gearbox key structural slewing drive elements gearbox of the wheel. Being motor-reducer slewing bearing involved in the gearbox early motor-reducer phase of the project enabled motor-reducer Mammoet motor-reducer to gearbox present an gearbox installation slewing bearing motor-reducer method that delivered greater efficiency, safety motor-reducer slewing drive and gearbox cost-effectiveness.

They proposed installing the largest elements, the legs and slewing bearing spindle,slewing drive directly from the barge they arrived on onto foundations with two of their super heavy lift cranes. This eliminated the need for temporary  slewing bearing storage, multiple slewing drive barge transports and working at extreme heights.
  

“Having been slewing drive involved in the construction slewing bearing of many of the slewing drive UAE’s iconic slewing drive landmarks, such as Burj Al Arab and its expansion,slewing bearing  Dubai Metro, Dubai Mall, and the luxury Five slewing bearing hotel on Palm Jumeirah island, we slewing drive are pleased to add another  slewing drive one to our successes in the Middle East. Working on Ain Dubai slewing bearing alongside our valuable client HDEC is an honor and  slewing drive a privilege. Engineering capabilities, slewing drive operational excellence and the remarkable slewing bearing cooperation of the entire project team slewing bearing ensured that the project was delivered successfully and incident-free,” slewing drive said Michel Bunnik, slewing bearing commercial director, slewing bearing Mammoet Middle East and Africa.
 

“I have no doubt that Ain slewing bearing Dubai will earn its slewing drive place among the world’s most famous landmarks, setting a new precedent in the tourism industry and slewing bearing making Dubai a ‘first choice’ destination for the slewing bearing international slewing drive leisure and business traveler. We are committed to supporting Dubai’s ambitions to strengthen its position as a global city and business slewing bearing hub of the Middle East,” slewing drive he added.
 

Mammoet’s scope:

Lifting the legs and spindle
In 2016 Mammoet slewing drive successfully positioned Ain slewing drive Dubai’s four legs onto their foundations and lifted the spindle. Working closely with their client in the planning phase, slewing bearing slewing drive Mammoet proposed the safest and slewing drive most efficient method would be to install each component in one slewing bearing piece. Therefore, the legs and the spindle slewing drive were prefabricated offsite by others before being slewing drive transported by slewing bearing barge to the installation site slewing drive. This slewing bearing delivered multiple time-saving and safety benefits. It reduced the number of barge trips required slewing bearing and each  slewing drive component was built safely slewing bearing at ground level before being lifted into place, eliminating the risks of working at heights.
 

Each 890-ton slewing slewing bearing drive leg measured 126 meters slewing drive long and 6.5 meters in diameter. They were rolled onto Mammoet’s barge using 40 axle lines slewing bearing of SPMT at the slewing bearing fabrication yard in Abu-Dhabi. Once on the barge,slewing drive  the legs were securely floated to the site. For slewing bearing the installation, Mammoet paired the world’s biggest slewing bearing crane – PTC 200-DS – a 5000-ton ring crane, with a 3000-ton slewing drive crawler slewing bearing crane. Together they ensured the stability and flexibility required to lift each leg and the spindle from the barge into position, whilst working 137 meters slewing drive above the ground.
 

Subsequently, slewing bearing Mammoet slewing bearing set a world  slewing drive record by lifting the 1,900-ton spindle to sit on top of the four legs: it was the heaviest and highest tandem lift ever undertaken worldwide.
 

Lifting the wheel rim sections

Following the slewing bearing positioning slewing bearing of the legs slewing drive and the spindle, Mammoet lifted eight rim pieces and temporary spokes. The slewing drive slewing bearing 3000-ton crawler crane was the only crane slewing bearing capable of carrying out these lifts. Its slewing drive high capacity combined with its long slewing bearing lift radius slewing drive could meet the distance between the barge slewing bearing and the installation point and lift each 700-ton section in one motion, slewing drive without the need to set them slewing drive down or reconfigure the crane.
 

Removal of temporary braces and spokes

Over a period of three and slewing bearing a half months, slewing drive Mammoet supported the removal of the temporary spokes until all eight temporary spokes were disconnected slewing bearing from the wheel. Each slewing bearing 112-meter long spoke, weighing slewing drive 470 tons, was skillfully lifted off the structure in tandem by Mammoet’s 600-ton and 400-ton slewing bearing crawler cranes.
