Countless distillation towers and crackers, and kilometers of pipelines in every diameter, are all components found in refineries that have to be protected against corrosion and insulated. Well-paid specialists are employed to do so, and they need optimal access to the extremely exposed components to do the job.
It is the out-of-the-ordinary challenges that allow people to show their mettle and prove their outstanding skills. One of these rare opportunities came the way of Sparer Ponteggi S.A.S., which we can say right now has coped with the task in masterly fashion.
The famous bridge over the Neckar in Heidelberg, built in 1788 by order of the Elector Karl Theodor, is currently being repaired. The company Wolfgang Fuchs GmbH from Bühlertann is responsible for the scaffolding enclosing the stone bridge, and is using Layher Allround equipment to do so.
From May to November 2008, the outer masonry of Oberstein Castle – first mentioned in 1320 and situated above Idar-Oberstein, a town famous for its gemstone industry – is being refurbished, together with the rock formation underneath it. To stabilize the masonry and the rock, holes are to be drilled to a depth of four meters to receive injection anchors.
For recurring maintenance work inside the main dome of the Frauenkirche in Dresden, Wilhelm Layher GmbH & Co.KG has provided an ingenious Allround mobile tower made of aluminium. The technical details were worked out in cooperation with the structural engineering firm Statikbüro Frank Weichelt of Dresden.
To cope with the expected masses of spectators at the European Football Champtionship in 2008 in Austra and Switzerland, existing sports grounds in Innsbruck and Salzburg are being extended. The two stadiums are thus being provided with temporary upper stands. This will almost double the numbers of seats in the two arenas. Layher stairway towers were used to provide access to these seats.
Shipyards are currently booked up all over the world, yet a rapid expansion of production capacities to cater for the increased demand is not in sight. The construction work alone for plant of this size often takes years, and the planning and approval phase might also need around one year.
This year too, Layher was honoured at the Batimat in Paris for outstanding achievements in development work. Layher S.A.S. from France accepted the Innovation Prize in Bronze for the FIPRO Deck.
The first GRP deck in scaffolding construction is distinguished by its outstanding rigidity, remarkable chemical resistance and its high resistance to environmental effects. The non-slip surface ensures greater safety and is easy to clean.
In the middle of Berlin, at Leipziger Platz, a scaffolding structure will stand until 2009 as a vision of a future building. The gigantic Allround scaffold forms a life-size model of the planned construction work and already allows you to see what the Leipziger Platz will look like as an octagon.
EastLink is Australia's largest urban road development project and will deliver Melbourne's second fully electronic tollway, comprising about 45 kilometres of freeway standard road connecting the city's eastern and south-eastern suburbs. Construction is now well underway at both entrances of the twin, 1.6 kilometre long three-lane tunnels under the Mullum Mullum Valley, with 600 people employed on the project.
