Sarens has offloaded and assembled sections of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) for the construction of a metro station in Giza, Egypt, on behalf of its client Concord.
The TBM components were located at different points on the site. They were mapped and analysed to shortlist the correct equipment to complete the assembly in a limited time.
The CC2600H SH crawler crane was selected and transported from another project site in Egypt and assembled in two days. The TBM components were 5 m high, 14 m in radius, and had a maximum weight of 66 tonnes.
The Sarens crew performed 15 lifts in four days to successfully complete the project in the given deadline.
