Video Title: 48 Minutes Of High Flying Action At Dry Fork Station Video Duration: 2:52 From: pc2drth Category: Travel and Events we see trucks, bulldozers, forklifts and cranes at construction sites all the time. today, though, we get to see work at the dry fork station done with something entirely different a helicopter.
by using a helicopter to remove the items from the top of the chimney and bringing materials up, we probably save 3-4 weeks of time.
pullman power, dry fork stations chimney contractor, built the plants chimney stack using a hydraulic lift system. now, that equipment needs to be removed and the roof or rain cap needs to be delivered to the top of the stack.
before that happens, final preparations are made that includes a job safety annaysis.
all riggings inspected. all of our rigging is brand new nylon chokers on top and on the ground.
once the rigging crews are in place on the stack and the staging area, the pilots buckle in.
the helicopter lift is about to begin here at the dry fork station. the east half of the plant has been shut down to all road access as well as the railroad for about two hours while the lift is happening. the helicopter behind me is about ready to take off for its first trip.
doug ramsey: this will be the first pick off the top of the chimney. they are going to remove what they call the cat head. thats the eye beams that supported some of the structures on top of the chimney.
the support structures and strand jack system were used in the construction of the chimneys steel liner, which is inside the 500 foot concrete shell.
doug ramsey: theres, i believe, nine loads to be removed from the top of the chimney and then theres seven loads that will be hauled from the staging area up to the top of the chimney, which are the components for the rain cap, the roof section of the top of the chimney.
once welded in place, the rain cap will protect the stack from the elements.
as always, safety is top priority. the pilot and riggers on the stack are in constant communication during the lift.
i try and get him to bring it in towards me and i grab the tagline and well just kind of pull the taglines apart to keep them from spinning around and once you get it spun the way you want it to, ill just tell him, you know, down, down, down and hell just basically push it down in between the stack.
in all, this sikorsky helicopter makes 11 trips with 16 individual picks before landing.
after a month of planning and just 48 minutes in the air, the lift is complete. without the helicopter
we would have had to erect a gin pole and use a hoist to do it manually, which would have impacted contractors around the chimney. so, this was safer and much more efficient for us.
all the planning paid off.
the lift went fantastic. it was boring, which is what we shoot for.
the chimney stack is now 95 percent complete. pullman power just needs to weld the rain cap in place and finish the electrical work.

Video Title: (R6a2-yateloond12sl-12d38mm Wmv) Video Duration: 3:36 From: Martinm210 Category: Science and Technology starting in on a much larger round of tests, this time with almost all new testing equipment that should be a big improvement over my previous work. mainly, my old anemometer made noise and it also seemed to interact and create odd results with some fans. i've switched that out to an extech hotwire anemometer which has no vane, i've also switched over to an american recording technologies a-weighted sound level meter which is much more matching of the human ear's perception of noise level. finally i've switched to a swiftech mcr120 for a wider and lower air pressure drop. in addition i've added back in the scythe meter for approximate rpm -50rpm or so, and using my old mastech meter for monitoring hz on the rpm wire for a more exact rpm hz x 30 rpm. anyhow, that's it, planning to do a bigger round this time, but in smaller 6-10 fans at a time. testing notes: -air flow: extech heavy duty hot wire, permanently fixed to outlet chamber 3.66" id port. good down to 40 fpm cfm is calculated later using port area. -noise level by american recording technology a-weighted meter good down to about 32dba. meter placed 6" away from fan as shown. previous testing shows results were very similar to 12" a weighting from zoom recorder. -chamber is 21" long 8" id heavy walled pvc, lined with egg crate to minimize chamber air flow noise. -flow spreader in chamber is made from 34" ea 4" x 1"id tubes -template face and outlet port is made from 3 4" 10ply plywood. radiator is a new ltbgt...lt bgt Tags: "Most Responded", Yate "yates cider mill", "yates construction", "yateley school", "yates field house", "yate leisure centre", "yateley vle", "yate loon", "yate town fc", "yates petroleum", "", Yate Loon D12sl-12d 38mm Fan Test
