Underground Overhead Crane Replacement

Fortis was contracted by a client to dismantle, remove and replace the existing 30/10T overhead crane underground at the No.2 Shaft station of the mine site. This work entailed the controlled demolition of the existing overhead bridge crane and accompanying structure. Once removed the walls of the underground shaft station were excavated to expand the width of the shaft station/staging area. Upon completion of the excavation, Fortis installed a new 200 foot long back mounted rail system, new bridge assembly complete with a new 30/10T crane assemblies. The installation included supporting the manufacturer on site and completing a CSA B167 compliant load test of the new bridge crane.
