Develop a plan to purchase bridge cranes for thermal power plants

How to determine the budget for purchasing overhead cranes

Before formulating a purchase plan for overhead cranes, it is necessary to first determine the budget. However, the cost of installing one overhead crane in thermal power plants varies due to various factors, and specific numbers cannot be provided. Generally speaking, installation costs may include expenses for equipment procurement, transportation, lifting, positioning, electrical system connection, safety protection measures, debugging and testing, operator training, and other aspects. Among them, the cost of equipment procurement varies due to factors such as brand, specifications, and quality, and the specific price needs to be negotiated and determined with the supplier. Other expenses also need to be evaluated and budgeted based on actual circumstances.

To ensure the installation quality and safety of the crane, it is recommended to conduct comprehensive planning and budgeting during the installation process, and select an experienced and qualified professional team for construction and supervision. At the same time, attention should also be paid to equipment maintenance and upkeep to ensure its long-term stable operation.

Possible problems and solutions encountered during the installation of one overhead crane in thermal power plants

Site planning and preparation:

Problem: The ground at the installation location of the crane may be uneven, making installation difficult.

Solution: Level and reinforce the installation site to ensure that the ground can withstand the weight of the crane and the vibration during operation.

Crane size and weight:

Problem: The crane may be too large to pass through the doors or passages in the factory area.

Solution: Pre measure the dimensions of the doors and channels, and choose the appropriate crane model or modify the channels according to the actual situation.

Lifting and positioning:

Problem: The lifting and positioning of the crane may not be accurate, resulting in an offset in the installation position.

Solution: Use professional lifting equipment and tools to ensure stability and accuracy during the lifting process. Meanwhile, use measuring tools to ensure accurate positioning of the crane.

Electrical system connection:

Problem: The electrical system of the crane may not be compatible with the power system of the thermal power plant.

Solution: Use appropriate cables and adapters to ensure compatibility between the electrical system of the crane and the power system of the thermal power plant.

Security measures:

Problem: The crane may not have sufficient safety measures during installation.

Solution: During the installation process, ensure that all personnel wear protective equipment such as helmets and gloves, and set up warning signs and protective barriers in the work area.

Equipment debugging and testing:

Problem: After the installation of the crane is completed, it may require multiple debugging and testing.

Solution: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the crane according to the prescribed testing process to ensure that its performance and safety meet the expected standards.

Operator training:

Problem: Operators may not be familiar with the operation of the new crane.

Solution: Provide training courses for operators to ensure they are familiar with the operation and maintenance points of the new crane.

Environmental protection and emission requirements:

Problem: The operation of the crane may produce pollution such as noise and exhaust gas.

Solution: Use low-noise, low emission engines and equipment to ensure compliance with environmental requirements. At the same time, regular equipment maintenance and upkeep should be carried out to ensure its normal operation.

Maintenance and upkeep plan:

Problem: No detailed maintenance and upkeep plan has been developed for the new crane.

Solution: Based on the usage of the crane and the manufacturer's recommendations, develop a detailed maintenance and upkeep plan and ensure regular execution.

Safety supervision and review:

Problem: Lack of safety supervision and audit mechanisms for cranes.

Solution: Establish a comprehensive safety supervision and audit mechanism, regularly inspect, evaluate, and audit cranes to ensure their safety performance meets standards.

The process for installing one overhead crane in a thermal power plant is as follows:

Civil construction: including the pouring of steel bars and concrete, providing a foundation for the installation of cranes.

Main structure installation: including ground splicing steel beams, vertical steel columns, hoisting steel beams, connecting secondary structures, etc.

Track installation: The track is the foundation for the operation of the crane and needs to be installed according to the design drawings, and precision adjustments such as horizontal and straightness should be made.

Installation of walking mechanism: The walking mechanism is an important part of the crane, responsible for supporting and moving the crane. During installation, it is necessary to ensure the stability and accuracy of the walking mechanism.

Bridge crane bridge beam assembly: The bridge bridge beam is the main structure of the crane and needs to be assembled according to the design drawings, and adjusted and fixed accordingly.

Installation and debugging of various gears and connecting shaft brakes: These components are important parts to ensure the normal operation of the crane and need to be installed and debugged according to the design drawings.

Joint debugging: After all components are installed, joint debugging is required to check the overall performance of the crane and the coordination of each component.

Load test: To verify the load-bearing capacity and stability of the crane through load test.

Anti corrosion treatment: Apply anti-corrosion treatment to the crane to extend its service life.

Handover acceptance: After all work is completed, a handover acceptance is required to ensure that the crane meets the design requirements and is safe to use.

It should be noted that the above process is for reference only, and the actual installation process may vary depending on specific engineering requirements, equipment specifications, and suppliers. It is recommended to carefully read the equipment manual and construction drawings before installation, and communicate with professionals to ensure installation quality and safety.
