The crane successfully passed the inspection operations and was put into operation. The assembly and adjustment process was carried out under the supervision of the chief engineers of the Zoomlion manufacturer. Thanks to the coordinated work of the specialists of the mechanization department of the JSC CONCERN TITAN-2 Branch in Cairo, the installation was completed 25 days ahead of schedule.
The lifting mechanism will be used in key construction and installation operations at power unit No. 3, such as installing the melt localization device in the design position, installing large-sized equipment of the “nuclear island”. In addition, the crane will take part in the installation of tiers of the inner containment of the reactor building. During the construction of the El Dabaa NPP power units, the Open top technology patented by the TITAN-2 Holding will be used, which helps to significantly reduce construction time. This method allows for the installation of equipment through the open roof of the building. The Open top technology is widely used by the company's specialists at other construction sites.
