Installing a 4,400-ton press outdoors while the surrounding plant was still being built
The aluminium project combined assembly of a complete extrusion handling system with installation of a 4,400-ton press. The work ran for several months from winter into summer while sections of the plant remained under construction.
The site team worked through cold, rain and high summer temperatures while heavy installation activities continued outdoors.
Heavy lifting with a 400-ton gantry, R120 forklift and hydraulic press cart
The heavy machinery installation used a 400-ton gantry system, R120 forklift and hydraulic press cart for the extrusion equipment and press.
The project combined heavy-lift planning with ongoing health and safety controls during the outdoor work.
