Project Department of Kynningsrud faucet has moved and put in place a tank that weighs 160 tons. The tank was transported from the manufacturer on the norwegian west coast to the customer in Sarpsborg.
This tank is an accumulator that will contain the high pressure of steam. Its walls are 9 cm thick and the tank itself is 17 meters long with 5 m diameter.
The accumulator came by sea from the manufacturer on the norwegian west coast via Holland to Sarpsborg.
In order to get the tank lifted from the boat and onto our new heavy-duty trailer, we had to hire a 400-ton floating crane. Then it was transported by road to its base. A 500- and a 300-tonne mobile crane as well as a crane truck was required to lift the tank off the trailer again.
Such a project requires careful planning in advance. Project Manager at Kynningsrud Kran AS, Erik Johannessen, was very pleased with the execution of the project.
