The project
The NOV Dunfermline factory experienced difficulties building tall manifold assemblies due to the restricted height of the building. Following a consultation with our experienced design team, they were able to design a solution to solve the issue.
The outcome: NOV were able to continue their operation in the existing factory without having to hire temporary premises.
Products supplied
We supplied;
Surespan designed and manufactured bespoke double leaf hatches, measuring 14′-0″ x 14′-0″. These hatches enable an external crane to lift the manifold units through the roof.
With the use of a key, these hatches are controlled by a small PLC that electrically operates the Hatches in an automated sequence.
Features:
The bespoke double leaf hatches were specially designed to stay open utilising strut locking to withstand the wind condition they specified with the design team.
