CEA Myanmar Contracted for Transportation & Installation of Storage Tanks

Posted on 27th April 2017

CEA Project Logistics Myanmar were recently contracted to handle the transportation and installation of two 18tn vertical storage tanks at a Yangon brewery. The project proved complex due to two cranes being required to operate in a very narrow location outside the facility (as photographed in the gallery below).

In advance of the installation project, CEA Engineering submitted highly detailed lift plans for approval by the client and before the arrival of the tanks, the CEA team prepared the installation area and affixed anchor bolts to each concrete tank base. After the first tank had arrived, a 100tn mobile crane and a 30tn tailing crane positioned themselves either side of the trailer in the narrow alley. The required slings were attached to both ends of the tank and the cranes managed the tight lift successfully and safely.

Due to working in such a confined space, each tank had to be lifted above and clear of the adjacent buildings and the crane then turned and lowered each tank onto its concrete base allowing for the final alignment and the anchor bolts to be fixed.
