some people maybe confuse how to lift Steam Drum on Coal Fire Power Plan

the cheapest and easier way to erect steam drum is by use hydraulic Jack and make temporary
support on Boiler steel structure Steam drum Lifting Method

1 REFERENCE

1.1 Basic Requirement

1.1.1 Reference drawing & Vendor Document

1.1.1.1 To check all drawings intended for steam drum lifting, and make sure
that is complete. All the information required is completed and drawings
shall be current revision.

1.1.1.2 Check Equipment and Materials

1.1.1.3 The Steam Drum and its accessories such as hanger rods, drum internals,
etc. Has to be check before lifting. The temporary materials such as
steels, anchor housing, eye bolt and others that will be used for lifting
need to be check also.

1.1.1.4 Drum Support

1.1.1.5 The drum support structure erection completion has to be check

including the leave out steels which should be erected only after the
drum is lifted. Hence all steels members other than leave out steel has to
be installed, aligned, bolted and inspected before drum lifting
commences

1.1.1.6 Lifting Plan, Method statement and procedure of lifting Boiler steam
drum shown at attachment –

2 LIFTING EQUIPMENT, TOOLS, AND MATERIAL LIST.

2.1 Hydraulic Jack 150 ton capacities : 4 Pcs

2.2 Wire Strand 50 ton capacities : 10 Pcs

2.3 Skid Roller 100 ton capacities : 8 Pcs

2.4 Skid Roller 50 ton capacities : 16 Pcs

3 STEAM DRUM LIFTING (see attachment )

3.1 Preparation

3.1.1 Ensure the direction of steam drum is correct since loading on the port
3.1.2 Before Installation of steam drum ensure all of the bolt have been
tightening

3.1.3 Install barricade on the exclusion zone to prevent workers inside to lifting
zone area

3.1.4 Safety tool box meeting must be done to explain dangerous condition that
may be occurred and how to prevent.

3.1.5 Install temporary jack support on the top of boiler steel structure

3.1.6 Install 4 Pcs Hydraulic jack and it’s accessories such us frame to support
jack, skid roller etc.

3.1.7 Prepare all of rigging tools to be used

3.1.8 Clear area from first tire until top tire, ensure there are no obstruction that
may obstruct during steam drum lifting

3.1.9 Confirm to Contraction site in charge and all sub-contractor in Project

power plan project inform lifting area preparation and explain
dangerous condition that may be occurred

3.1.10 Ensure that ground condition stability is enough to support transporter to

transport steam drum to lifting area.

3.1.11 Prepare concrete block and soft wood as temporary saddle in order as
temporary placement of steam drum for cleaning and repair of steam
drum if there are any damages.

3.1.12 Drum and hangers

3.1.12.1 The Drum is hung from the main structure by two ‘U’ type strap
hangers. To easier of lifting operations and facilities the erection
of hangers, the ‘U’ rod hangers shall be assembled at ground
level or the drum in order to be lifted simultaneously.

3.1.12.2 Before assembling the ‘U’ rods the following should be taken
inconsideration are :

3.1.12.2.1 The spacing of the ‘U’ rods corresponds to the Drum

diameter

3.1.12.2.2 The bolt circle diameters of the bearing boxes

correspond to the diameter of the ‘U’ rods, its mean
that:

3.1.12.2.2.1 The hangers threads are clean

3.1.12.2.2.2 To check the nuts onto the rods

 3.1.12.2.2.3 Joints of ‘U’ rods – attention on the threads

3.1.12.2.3 The threads are protected to avoid all damage during lifting of the
Drum and are also well protected where the steam pass through the
structure and bearings

3.1.12.2.4 Then the ‘U’ rods are fixed as per the dimensions and the drawing

7.2 Lifting Sequences

7.2.1 Transporter come to erection area, initially the Drum is positioned in the
ground floor 2 meters away from its required Original position to avoid
touching with boiler steel structure during inclination process of steam
drum .

7.2.2 Install lifting tools to the steam drum.

7.2.3 Lift up steam drum around 3 meter height then hung “U” hanger on the
steam drum from side of steam drum by using 45 ton Rough crane and
tie in with wire sling

Pic.

7.2.4 Lock jack 3&4 and Lift up jack 1&2 to decline steam drum position until 30 degree
until steam drum free from any obstruction

7.2.5 Lift up both of jack watch out if any obstructions during lift by radio (HT)
and communicate to the jack operator.

7.2.6 After steam drum lifted until final elevation approximately El.77.80 lock
jack 1&2 and lift up jack 3&4 to straight steam drum in horizontal
position.

7.2.7 The Drum lift and positioned at the elevation approximately El.77.80
meters, and operation of hydraulic shall be locked.
 7.2.8 The trucks are moved towards to front boiler direction (to line E1) by slide
steam drum in temporary rail until final position.

7.2.9 After completion of lateral movement of drum and the trucks, the trucks
shall be locked.

7.2.10 Each ‘U’ rod to be lifted by crane 600 T guided by spreader bar to install
easier through the hole and lock them by nuts

7.2.11 Adjust the drum at its final elevation by means of lifting device

7.2.12 Confirm that the ‘U’ rods are in contact with the bottom generating line
of steam drum

7.2.13 Adjust the bearing orientation and plates as per drawing

7.2.14 Tighten the nuts of hangers in order to reach perfect contact of all parts

7.2.15 Simultaneously release the hydraulic jack systems and dismantle the
lifting equipment

7.2.16 Do the weld operation after completion of inspection

7.2.17 On completion of positioning the drum, the confirmation of tension on

the ‘U’ rods is necessary. The tension on the each strap must be equal to
the down load

4 INSPECTION

4.1 It is necessary to record all inspection during various phases of erection progress
an to verify inspection sheets are in compliance with drawings
