Al Faris recently installed a Steam Box at a new Waste to Energy Plant in Dubai 17 May, 2022

Al Faris recently installed a Steam Box at a new Waste to Energy Plant in Dubai.

Due to Industry reputation and expertise involving high complexity in planning and execution, Al Faris were recently awarded this project.

This challenging installation was done at a height of 2.8m using our specialized in-house modular towers and other skidding equipment.

The Steam Box was delivered in two parts, the bottom part weighing 27t and the top part weighing 40t. The top part was tandem lifted for top and tail operation using our 250t and 200t mobile cranes. It was then placed onto skid tracks and skidded into a temporary position. Thereafter the bottom part was placed on the skid tracks. The top part was then lifted in order to allow the bottom to be skidded underneath. Once the bottom part was skidded into final position, the top part was lowered onto the bottom part and both parts of the Steam Box were joined together for final installation.

Challenges: The clearance while skidding was only 30mm. All measurements and markings were done precisely during the operation.

The COG of the top part of the steam box was away from both the lifting points during the lifting of the load from the trailer which could have caused the load to slide. In order to avoid this situation, we made a temporary packing arrangement of stools at the corner of the steam box.

A project of this nature requires exceptionally detailed planning to orchestrate the complex activities necessary for ensuring uninterrupted safe services; from detailed planning to ensuring utmost safety during all lifts. The technical support documentation, execution plans and HSE protocols were prepared in-house and discussed with the client prior to project execution.

Al Faris Group along with our partners Fabtech International relocate structures that are the biggest of its kind in the mining world.

Al Faris along with our partners Fabtech International, successfully completed the loading, transporting and assembling of mining machines (bucket wheel stacker reclaimer & ship loader) at Jebel Ali Port for Thyssenkrupp.

We recently relocated the entire loads (2100t and 1650t each) 150m, using our 96 axle SPMT's.

These are massive structures and the biggest of its kind in the mining world.
Al Faris Group executed the complete logistics chain for 30 overflow tanks at Dubai Solar Park! 30 Jun, 2021

Al Faris Group executed the complete logistics chain for 30 overflow tanks at Dubai Solar Park!

Al Faris Group has executed the complete logistics chain including receiving, storing, transporting and lifting of 30 overflow tanks which are part of the ongoing Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park project, the largest single-site solar park in the world!
Due to Industry reputation and expertise in transporting large, abnormal loads involving high complexity in planning and execution, Al Faris were recently awarded this project.
Each tank was 52m long and weighed 235t which made it an extremely big challenge for byroad transportation. The biggest challenge was to find a feasible route from Jebel Ali Port to Solar park, Al Qudra in order to transport the cargo efficiently.

The transportation was carried out with our Mercedes Arocs trucks attached to 2 files 30 axle Goldhofer THP/SL conventional hydraulic trailers with 2 tanks in one convoy. At the project site, the overflow tanks were lifted using our Liebherr 400t crawler crane along with other supporting mobile cranes which travelled a distance of more than 100m before placing the load on the foundation.

A project of this nature requires exceptionally detailed planning to orchestrate the complex activities necessary for ensuring uninterrupted safe services; from route analysis to on-road safety permissions. The route was analyzed and surveyed by our technical team. The technical support documentation, execution plans, route analysis report and HSE protocols were prepared in-house and discussed with the client prior to project execution.
