waste per year to generate 200 MW of sustainable electricity. It initially opened in the second quarter of 2020, although development is ongoing, and other waste to energy plants are being built around the country proving a fruitful source of work for crane rental companies.

worked with Yongmao to provide four custom luffing jib tower cranes on the Al Warsan 2 waste to energy plant
NFT Group worked with Yongmao to provide four custom luffing jib tower cranes. The technical and time requirements for the required tower crane were too high for any available local manufacturer, so cranes and construction specialist NFT Group contacted Yongmao Holdings and the two companies worked closely to make the required customised tower cranes in the short period of time available. Four cranes in all were involved.
Two were STL4200 models, with 62.5 m jib, 88 m height and 100t capacity, mounted on travelling chassis; two were STL2400 models, with 70 m jib, 74 m high and lifting 80t, on static fixed bases. Manufacture took around six months including shipping. The
cranes arrived on site in March 2022. The programme was to install the tower cranes in 25 days but NFT group managed to reduce that by 50% to complete the installation in record time. The STL 2400 was meant to be installed in 18 days but NFT completed installation in just a week. The larger STL 4200 was expected to take 25 days to install but the NFT Group managed to reduce that to 12 days. To achieve this, two fully-dedicated teams supported by a supervisor from the OEM, worked 12 hours a day. While one team off-loaded and assembled, the other team erected the assembled parts. Three mobile cranes were on site to cater to these simultaneous activities. NFT Group also provided the site with monthly preventive maintenance and a dedicated technician on site 24 hours in case of emergency.
