    Efficiently repalletize old stocks of blocks?

    oldestguy - would need too much supervision to prevent them from killing themselves :-) bimr - ok, it would put the forklift operator at a safe distance. i wonder about using straps to realign the stack on some of the pallets for broken / crushed pallets, i was wondering if there was some...

    Efficiently repalletize old stocks of blocks?

    Greetings, I'm looking for creative ideas to efficiently repalletize old stocks of hollow blocks. Those have been forgotten for years, and the wooden pallets have failed, wich results in unstable stacks & impossibility to handle with forklifts. First concern is workers security / avoiding...

    Dismantling an industrial roof after a blast

    retired13 - yes they managed to get it in with a crane, bur from inside the building, hence with much smaller spans. I guess the same route is the way to go to take it out. Otherwise, inspiration from the egyptians will be quite usefull :-) Many thanks to all, i'm gladly surprised to see that...

    Dismantling an industrial roof after a blast

    Ok, i guess it's going to be a crash deck near the roof, by using scaffolding. Got to figure out a way of assembling this without putting people at risk.

    Dismantling an industrial roof after a blast

    retired13 - could be, i'd need to find a crane that can lift 20 tons tough, maybe 10 tons if i manage to dismantle the machine enough. Pretty big one i guess, that calculator suggests a 200 tons crane ... https://nckynningsrud.com/en/cranecalculator/

    Dismantling an industrial roof after a blast

    Ron - they definitively are, one problem at a time. spraying PVA glue should help fixing a lot of it. Maybe there's better ways?

    Dismantling an industrial roof after a blast

    phamENG - not sure about the netting, horizontal loads could be quite big if a truss falls (they're seriously damaged, with strut buckling and LTB). The fixing of the net would mainly be done on masonry, would need extra structural element to route the loads to structural members. There's a lot...

    Dismantling an industrial roof after a blast

    Agent666 - "craning out complete sections of the damaged structure" - yes, that was what i had in mind. I wonder about how big the crane needs to be though. Access is from the road between the two structures (the small hangar and the main bldg), can't do it in another way. If someone knows a...

    Dismantling an industrial roof after a blast

    You can't put workers below the roof as is, the fibrocement tiles can fall anywhere anytime, workers would be at serious risk also the roofing has collapsed so much that touching the machine maybe with some clever sequence, so that worker stay protected, but wouldn't making a protective...
