Galvanised Steel Structure Replacement

This job involved a galvanised structure replacement required to support two large gear motors.

Client – Food Processing Plant, Brisbane

What were the challenges?

• The existing structure was heavily corroded and needed to be replaced.
• The job needed to be completed in a two-day weekend.
• The gearmotors and steel structure were very heavy and there was no access for a forklift or crane.

How did Davis Welding and Fabrication solve these challenges?   

• We decided to fabricate the galvanised steel structure replacement structure in two sections which bolted together. This allowed for easier fabrication, transportation, and installation of the heavy parts.
• A counterbalanced engine crane, a series of jacks, trolleys and lifting equipment were used to execute the job.

Project result

• The galvanised steel structure replacement fitted exactly as planned with all gearmotor mounting holes lining up as they should.
• The frame was assembled, welded into position, and completed ahead of schedule.
