The 56-ton heavy boiler, 8 meters long and 4 meters thick, has been decommissioned and had to be extracted at Perlen Papier AG. After being disconnected from all the pipes and opening up the facade by Demontagen plus AG, it was our turn.
Underneath the boiler, a steel beam runway was installed on both sides, on which the boiler was pulled out for approximately 3 meters out of the building using heavy-duty rollers and our truck-mounted crane. From there, it was loaded onto a specialized transport vehicle by a mobile crane, initially hanging from one side and then completely suspended.
