White Gate Refinery Cork Ireland

Construction of an ISBL (inside battery limit) pipe rack measuring 70 metres long and 10 metres high.

We devised a special crane plan in collaboration with Mammoet van Seumeren, as we had to assemble the pipe rack between two existing pipe racks, and because the average weight of the pipe rack components in some cases amounted to 15 tons per component.

Another challenge in this project was the ‘fire proofing'. This was done by PFP fire proofing from Scotland. Safety was another important feature, as we were assembling the pipe racks in a live plant. We received the award of "safest contractor of the month of February 2004" for this project.
