Boiler Access Span-Out System

 

Boiler Access Span-Out System Features:

 

Snap-Out offers an unbeatable solution to access within enclosed or restricted access areas, such as the inside of a power station boiler where it can be difficult and time consuming to enter with regular scaffold frames. Snap-Out sections are compact & light to handle weighing approx. 40kgs.

A complete ‘level’ of scaffold folds neatly into an easily managed bundle that will pass through an aperture of 36cms. Once it is in the work location, the bundle unfolds to form a complete scaffold.

Once inside the boiler the Snap-Out units can be instantly erected within seconds to provide a complete level of scaffold, 2m cube modules which interlock positively together to provide the main tower structures. There are no loose parts and no tools, nuts or bolts are required for assembly. This unique folding system with no loose components prevents loss and incorrect assembly, only the platform, ladder and toe boards need to be added.

The base structure is designed to sit firmly inside the V hopper providing a rigid foundation for the complete upper structure.

Further levels are handled in exactly the same manner, building a tower to the height required which can be up to 100 metres. This unique folding system with no loose components prevents loss and incorrect assembly.

Doing the maths:

Downtime costs, when measured on a fixed cost basis are generally 2 cents per unit.  The potential saving when using the Quick Erect Boiler System is US$240,000 per day or over US$1.4 million savings per overhaul (based on a 500 Mega Watt Boiler).

If downtime costs are measured on the basis of lost revenue, a rate of 5 cents per unit normally applies.  In this case, the potential saving when using the Quick Erect Boiler System is US$600,000 per day or a US$3.6 million savings per overhaul (based on a 500 Mega Watt Boiler).

A crew of 6 erectors & 6 laborers can erect a boiler system in 24-48 hours, depending on the size of the boiler and dismantling takes just one day.  In addition, after removal from the boiler no special cleaning is required and storage is easy and compact.

Payback time: The original cost of the system can be paid back within the first two years of installation (depending upon its size) and can save up to $25m over the lifetime of the boiler.
