The integral relocation of the No.3 bucket wheel stacker-reclaimer at Jiujiang Steel’s Stockyard was completed by CISDI in mid May.

The entire stockyard is going through an online rebuild to make it more environmentally friendly and relocating this section was of paramount importance.

The 395-tonne stacker-reclaimer was moved 40 metres. Its relocation had to line up with existing facilities, a complicated electric system, a long distance and reconstruction complexity. The final step was the sliding into position of its tripper car.

CISDI had to complete the task to an extremely tight schedule, which made a traditional disassembly and recombination method impossible. Instead CISDI took a holistic relocation approach, bringing in unit-wise sliding and local lifting operations.

The project enriches CISDI’s online rebuild references and lays the foundation for further milestones in the rebuild at Jiujiang.
