The core catcher of Power Unit 2 has been installed at the Akkuyu NPP construction site

In the scope of preparation for installation works, the specialists installed the Terex Demag CC6800 lifting crane with the maximum load capacity of 1250 tonnes.

“Initially, we had to prepare the site for crane installation. We also needed additional space to assemble the crane boom because it should be assembled on the ground and then lifted into the vertical position. Soil was backfilled, foundation was compacted to required parameters and then we placed metal sheets on which the crane is going to move,” said Mikhail Cherepenya, lifting mechanisms site supervisor.
