"The works were carried out in an active production plant in adverse winter weather conditions and required the place to be properly secured. The investment required a quick and efficient replacement of the canal during the overhaul period of less than 4 weeks. "

Challenge

• replacement of the flue gas duct between the exhaust fan and the chimney H = 300 m and duct assembly at a height of 4.5-20 m above the ground level
• enabling more efficient car traffic on the customer’s premises and eliminating troublesome detour around the chimney
• carrying out works in a small area with a working production plant

Solution

• disassembly of the existing, corroded flue gas duct and thermal insulation together with its utilization
• assembly of a new flue gas duct with a circular cross-section of Ø4000 mm, with a new chimney fan at a height of 20 m and placing the flue duct on a new support structure at a height of 4.5 m
• construction of a new asphalt road under the newly built flue gas duct

Result

• enabling traffic of loading cars under the duct and reducing time of car travel between the warehouse and the entrance gate
• extending the service life and ensuring failure-free operation of the flue gas extraction system - the estimated service life without overhaul is 10 years
• less frequent inspections of the duct’s technical condition and its wear
• all health and safety requirements have been met – to protect the operators from burning thermal insulation of the flue gas duct was installed
• achieving the desired aesthetic result and improving the image of the plant
