One of the deconstruction engineering projects undertaken by Andvare on behalf of Liberty Industrial and in consultation with De-Consult Pty Ltd.

Andvare undertook the deconstruction engineering, production of data and lifting recommendations for each of the major components of the Port Kembla Stacker/ Reclaimer for Liberty Industrial to deconstruct the machine.

Andvare’s scope included:

• Development of an MTO for the machine, based on 3D models of the main structures;
• Provision of deconstruction sequence stability diagrams and allowable wind speeds;
• Provision of module lift arrangements and separation details;
• Provision of FEA of the major module lifts to verify external stresses;
• Design of temporary connections and supports to allow separation;
• Design of custom lifting beams for the main lift;
• Design of custom lift points from modified existing sections of the structures.
