TEL T217 (Sinohydro Corporation)
Awarded by SINOHYDRO for 1 unit of 40 ton Gantry Crane for Land Transport Authority (LTA) – Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) – T217 project
Founded in the early 1950s, SINOHYDRO is originally well known as China’s first brand in hydropower construction. After several years of expansion and development, it has become a global enterprise, running diversified businesses from water conservancy and hydropower construction to project financing, design, implementation and operation in almost all kinds of infrastructures such as power, transportation, civil work, mining and real estate.
As Jenmon is an approved vendor for LTA and has many outstanding track records, we were awarded by SINOHYDRO to supply and install 1 unit of 40 ton High Lifting Speed Engineered Gantry Crane with a closed loop PLC and invertor control, complete with a mobile cabin. This was for the construction of Napier Station which is scheduled to be completed in 2021. It will bring further convenience and connectivity to those working and residing in the Northern and central parts of Singapore
Jenmon believes in providing high-quality products, and being safety orientated at all times. Thus, we used durable components in the open winch motors and gearboxes, PLC and inverters which are all from a reputable European brand. The internal area of the cabin was designed comfortably with an ergonomic friendly chair, a 270-degree view for the operator, and a control to ensure an increasingly efficient operation.
The 12 ton cantilever was also equipped such that it was able to extend out from its main girder to ensure a smoother and more effective loading and offloading. Load limiters with interlock system were integrated to prevent overloading. Furthermore, a 4-inch load display was installed inside the cabin to provide the operator with a clearer view.
Moreover, FAT was conducted in accordance with the ISO standards. For this project, a 100% UT was conducted, along with 30% of MPI test which was conducted on joints and lifting lugs of the steel structure. This ensures a safer lifting installation and operation of cranes.
