[INDUSTRY NEWS] Darren Scruggs, senior account manager
at HCR, said: “The slide system was one of the major components of the heavily engineered concept that we pitched to the refinery. Without removing overhead structure beams, a jack-and-slide solution was the only viable option. We worked closely with Hydra-Slide to put together a robust proposal and upon winning the contract, we placed orders for the necessary equipment, which remains in our fleet.” The full scope of work included
transportation of the old exchanger to its manufacturer, transportation of the new 27 ft. 6 in. by 7 ft. 6 in. by 15 ft. exchanger to the refinery, and final installation in the same position as the original. HCR also employed a 500-ton capacity Enerpac gantry to load and offload the exchangers on a dual lane, eight-line trailer. The project took five days to complete and was delivered on schedule. Michael Barry, general rigging
superintendent at HCR, said: “The [existing] stacked exchanger was sitting on 4 ft.-high concrete pedestals; we used crib stacks and pipe stands to support the slide track at 4
ft. elevation. We slid the exchangers a total of 29 ft. 10 in. Throughout the preparation and execution of the project, Hydra-Slide remained available to take questions and provide application support, which was always delivered in a timely fashion.” Ron Hill, vice president at HCR, said:
“We continue to service all heavy industrial markets. Business is great and our rigging group is growing quickly; we are planning to order additional Hydra-Slide products for upcoming projects. We are very pleased with our purchases and the after-sales service and consultancy we continue to receive from the team.” y
Hydra-Slide Demonstrations: Breakbulk Americas; Rapid Response Solutions Open House
> An XLP150 extreme low-profile hydraulic skidding system will be the centerpiece of Hydra-Slide’s exhibit at this year’s Breakbulk Americas, which takes place 8-10 October at the George R. Brown Convention Center in
Houston, Texas. Hydra-Slide will exhibit at Booth F44. Hydra-Slide will return to the event for
a fourth consecutive year but has doubled the size of its exhibit to 10 ft. by 20 ft. to showcase the 150-ton capacity extreme low profile XLP150, which features a 1.25-in. (32mm) profile, and is suitable for applications where overhead space or clearance is limited, such as inside buildings or within live power stations. Janine Smith, vice president at Hydra-
Slide, said: “It is our most compact, lowest profile system and all components are hand- portable, making it ideal for a trade show. It is also one of our most in-demand systems for job sites where a traditional heavy track skidding system isn’t feasible, such as areas with extremely restricted clearances and limited heavy moving equipment. These systems have been used inside hospitals and high security power plants, as well as underground transformer stations and on upper levels of facilities, to slide components to a door rather than removing ceilings as is required with traditional lifting methods.”
