MaxiCoat ® Epoxy floor & wall coating system MaxiCoat is ideal for heavy duty traffic areas; has a very high chemical resistance, is NZFSA approved and has the strength of conventional oil-based coatings, but with the safety and convenience of water as a solvent. Only two coats are required to give a durable long lasting finish, reducing cost and application time. MetalFix can be used as a primer in heavy rust situations. Water based & durable for a long lasting finish Key applications: * Forecourt & showroom floors or walls * Light & heavy industrial factories * Food processing plants & freezing works * Fishing vessels, ships & offshore installations www.engineeringnews.co.nz 39 a joint venture of Kiewit/Skanska will use Enerpac Heavy Strand Lift (HSL) 50006 strand jacks to lower the span. Enerpac HSL 50006 strand jacks have 500 metric ton capacity, and operate in sets of four. To ensure the demolition schedule is met, and dismantled. The HSL 50006 strand jacks feature a sophisticated, proven software program that enhances safety by synchronising the motion of the strand jacks and adjusting the motion to the loads per lifting point. A trusted and proven technology, approximately 2,000 Enerpac strand jack systems are in operation globally. Headquartered in San Leandro, California, Bigge Crane and Rigging Company celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2016 as one of America’s premier crane sales, crane rental and project services companies. Bigge also is an official Enerpac dealer, and currently owns and maintains one of the largest inventories of new and used cranes for sale in the U.S. and globally. “Bigge is an excellent partner for Enerpac, and is unique among dealers because they can also operate the equipment they sell,” says Mike Beres, Americas sales leader for Enerpac Heavy Equipment Technology. “Bigge provides their customers with onsite support, aftersale service and equipment maintenance. They also have extensive expertise in heavy lifting.” Enerpac delivered the strand jacks in March, 2017 and provided training and support for two Kiewit/Skanska operators in April. The Enerpac/Bigge team will also provide on-site support during equipment set up at the Kosciuszko Bridge, and when the span is lowered in June, 2017. After analysing the existing structure to determine its strong spots, Kiewit/Skanska will execute the large pick using the Enerpac strand jacks. Taking the large span down and dismantling it on the ground will be much faster and safer than performing these tasks at elevation. “Most of the Kosciuszko Bridge is over land, and due to the number of offices underneath the bridge, there’s not a lot of room to maneuver,” says Mr Beres. “We’re confident with the equipment chosen, and Kiewit/Skanska has the equipment and heavy lifting experience necessary to safely and efficiently remove the span and keep the project on schedule.” a set of eight strand jacks will be employed. The rest of the spans will be imploded in July, 2017. Truss demolition will require building strong lifting points on the existing structure. The largest span will be supported via strand jacks before being cut, lowered to the ground Enerpac strand jacks, in individual capacities from 30-3000 tons, as available in Australasia. * Car garages & workshops * Aircraft hangar floors * Cold storage rooms KTKemTek 03 688 2160 www.kemtek.co.nz HM039
