Siemens Gas Turbine Technology will employ Demag cranes at its new location near St. Petersburg for the manufacture and service of gas turbines above 60 MW. The company has awarded the contract to Terex Material Handling for the delivery and installation of seven process cranes and four universal cranes, some of which are equipped for tandem operation. On a property measuring 25,000 m² in size, production facilities are being developed in which Demag crane installations will support all steps of the production, shipping and maintenance of gas turbines. The crane installations have to be installed and put into service within a challenging window of opportunity. State-of-the-art gas turbines will be produced for the growing market of Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). It is planned to finish construction of the new plant and start gas turbine production in the Leningrad Region close to St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city at the end of 2014.

Siemens is investing in its new production facility near St. Petersburg to expand its global manufacturing network for gas turbines and to be closer to customers. Dr Lars Brzoska, Vice President & Managing Director Terex Material Handling, explains: “The confidence placed in the Demag brand by our customer Siemens once more emphasises our leading position as a system supplier for the mechanical engineering sector all over the world. We are delighted that our products are able to play an important role at the operations level in the implementation of Siemens global business strategy in the energy sector.”

Lutz Dowy, Vice President Sales and Product Management: “Demag cranes and hoists have demonstrated their high quality and performance in Siemens plants for many years, such as in Görlitz, which is specialised in the production of industrial steam turbines. Our local presence in Russia and our manufacturing expertise give us the edge. Our customer Siemens benefits from reliable crane engineering, short delivery and installation times as well as support throughout the product lifecycle with rapid response times.”

System solution for industry-specific processes

The Demag crane installation will serve all parts of all assembly lines in the new local production facility. They will be responsible for handling heavy loads and ensure that the individual assembly stations are precisely served and that the components are positioned down to the last millimetre. Since they are equipped with two hoist units, the cranes will also be able to turn components safely, such as turbine housings. The crane installations will also ensure that the individual assembly stations are interlinked and will be used for staging completed gas turbines that are ready for shipping.

Designed to meet specific application requirements

The integrated logistics system consists of seven radio-controlled double-girder overhead travelling cranes and four wall-mounted travelling cranes, which are specially designed for the application and which travel on three crane levels. Five process cranes that have a span of 27 m and various load capacities operate on the top level. The largest crane, which is equipped with three hoist units that have load capacities of 250/150/16 t, is used for handling large components and to transport completed gas turbines. Two further crane installations operate on a second level and rapidly serve the workstations with material using their 25 t hoist units. Using an additional 5 t rope hoist, these cranes can also be used to support assembly work.

At the workstation level, three Demag EWKE wall-mounted travelling cranes that have an outreach of 10 m will be installed to move loads weighing up to 3.2 t. A fourth wall-mounted travelling crane will be of double-girder design with an outreach of 11 m and will be equipped with travelling hoists, that each have a load capacity of 5 t. Thanks to the wall-mounted travelling cranes that operate along the wall of the bay, Siemens Gas Turbine Technology will benefit from versatile cranes that can be used for assembly work and which offer a wide operating radius.

The scope of delivery also includes power supply lines measuring some 430 m in length, which will be installed for reliable power supply to the cranes.

Demag maintenance platform for Shenzhen aircraft hangar

Demag maintenance platform for Shenzhen aircraft hangar

• *China Southern Airlines focuses on tried-and-tested platform technology
• *Modular system design for highest availability and short assembly times

China Southern Airlines will, in future, use Demag crane systems for the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of its aircraft fleet. The Chinese airline commissioned Terex Material Handling with the installation of process cranes equipped with maintenance platforms in the hangar at Shenzhen airport. Four Demag suspension cranes operate on 100-m-long crane runways in the MRO hangar, which measures approximately 8,000 m² in size. A maintenance platform and a further 10-t service crab that can transfer to three process cranes enable precise positioning of the high-grade aircraft components in addition to maintenance.

Dr Lars Brzoska, Vice President & Managing Director Terex Material Handling states: “This order from China Southern Airlines again emphasises our excellent position as the world’s leading system supplier for the aviation industry. With the industry-specific concepts and know-how developed over many years, we offer our customers complete solutions for safe and efficient manufacture and maintenance of aircraft.“


Lutz Dowy, Vice President Sales and Product Management: “Demag process cranes with teleplatforms in a modular design for the MRO hangar have been created through the closely co-ordinated co-operation of our global network of experts. In addition to project management and engineering from Germany, we combine the production know-how of our process crane plant in Slany with local steel construction. Our customers benefit from short delivery and assembly times thanks to our tried-and-tested Demag platform technology with pre-assembled and completely tested components.“

Additional information
 
System solution for aircraft maintenance
The crane technology in the MRO hangar in Shenzhen consists of a system with three interlocking suspension cranes equipped with teleplatforms, a 10-t service load hook crab and a maintenance crane in the tail area. A process crane with multiple suspension arrangements with a span of 32.5 m and two suspension cranes with 17.5 m span travel on two parallel crane runways in the 100-m-long bay. Thanks to installation of the crane runways directly on the building structure, further supports are not required, which leaves the entire approximately 8,000-m² surface area available for the aircraft. Additional flexibility is achieved by the possibility of interlocking the crane installations. This arrangement enables the maintenance platform and service crab to be transferred from one crane to another and precisely positioned wherever they are needed. The hangar provides a large enough area to simultaneously accommodate up to four Airbus A320 aircraft or one of these aircraft with a wide body aircraft such as an Airbus A330.


Precise positioning
Demag maintenance platforms have a surface area of approximately 18 m² to accommodate maintenance specialists who can use the platform to access virtually any point of the aircraft. By suspending a platform on a telescopic mast, precise and sway-free lifting can be ensured. The platform is also equipped with the required utility connections. Additional flexibility is achieved by installation of a crane on board the working platform with which the aircraft components can be lifted directly onto the platform.

Thanks to the installation of a 10-t-service crab, the cranes are can also be used to install and remove large aircraft components. The integrated inverter controls for the lifting, lowering and travel motions ensure the highest precision when handling the sensitive components, since the motions are controlled at infinitely variable speeds in all directions.

The maintenance system in the new hangar of China Southern Airlines is completed by a Demag 2-t-universal suspension crane that supports the work in the tail units.
