Flue Gas Emissions Stack High Angle Rescue Lug

Service(s) Provided: Industrial Construction

Fortis was contracted by a client to complete the installation of high angle rescue lugs and a jib crane on the Flue Gas Emissions Stack at a Power Station. The High Angle Rescue lugs were WINSAFE 5T lugs welded onto backing plates which were mounted via Hilti resin anchors in sets of 4 at each of the landings up the ~400′ stack. The project also included the installation of a 1/2T jib crane at the door access platform of the stack (~300′ from ground level) which required load testing as per CSA B167. During the performance of the work some extras and structural deficiencies were noted on the stack which Fortis was contracted to remedy under a change order to the original contract.
