Abstract

With an installation construction method for boiler facilities, the boiler facilities comprise a boiler building configured of a steel structure, and a boiler main unit suspended within the boiler building from the upper portion of the boiler building. A portion of the boiler building is constructed, a portion of the boiler main unit is suspended from the upper portion of the partially-constructed boiler building, and while the remaining steel structure portions are being added to the partially-constructed boiler building so as to construct the boiler building, the remaining portions of the boiler main unit are added to complete the boiler main unit.

Claims (20)

1. An installation construction method for boiler facilities in which said boiler facilities comprise:

a boiler building configured of a steel structure, and

a boiler main unit suspended within the boiler building from top girders disposed above the boiler building,

wherein: the steel structure is provided with center steel columns at the width-wise center portion of the boiler building and end steel columns at the width-wise end portions of the boiler building, the central steel columns and end steel columns being symmetric with respect to a vertical axis, the end steel columns located furthest away from the vertical axis;

the boiler main unit is divided into an upper portion, a middle portion and a lower portion;

the center steel columns of the boiler building are erected and the top girders are disposed above the center steel columns wherein a first level of the end steel columns are erected;

the upper portion of the boiler main unit is suspended from the top girders while a next level of end steel columns are added adjacent a next level of center steel columns, providing mechanical reinforcement to the width-wise end portions thereof,

the middle portion of the boiler main unit is suspended from the top girders while the another level of end steel columns are further added adjacent another level of center steel columns, providing mechanical reinforcement to the width-wise end portions thereof; and

the lower portion of the boiler main unit is suspended from the top girders while the remaining end steel columns are further added adjacent a remaining level of center steel columns, providing mechanical reinforcement to the width-wise end portions thereof, thereby completing the boiler building wherein a height of each level of end steel columns and center steel columns is substantially equal, and the construction symmetrical about the vertical axis.

2. The installation construction method for boiler facilities according to claim 1 , wherein, while adding the remaining end steel columns of the boiler building, various types of equipment to be provided to the boiler main unit and accessory members accessory thereto are carried into and installed in the boiler building under construction.

3. The installation construction method for boiler facilities according to claim 1 ,

wherein the center steel columns are and the end steel divided into multiple stages in a vertical direction of the boiler building; and

when the center steel columns of the boiler building are erected, respective floor units are installed between the lowest first-level column of the center steel columns through second and following level steel columns erected above the first-level column.

4. The installation construction method for boiler facilities according to claim 1 ,

wherein the center steel columns are and the end steel columns divided into multiple stages in a vertical direction of the boiler building; and

when the center steel columns of the boiler building are erected, the lowest first-level steel columns are erected substantially over the entire width-wise area of the boiler building and respective floor units are installed between the first steel columns respectively.

5. The installation construction method for boiler facilities according to claim 4 , wherein as the upper, middle and lower portions of the boiler main unit are suspended, the second-level through following level and steel columns to be erected above the first-level end steel columns of the end steel columns of the boiler building are added and floor units are added between the second-level through following level steel columns.

6. The installation construction method for boiler facilities according to claim 3 ,

wherein the center steel columns and the end steel columns are divided into multiple stages in a vertical direction of the boiler building; and

when the steel columns are erected at the width-wise center portion of the boiler building, the lowest first-level steel columns are erected over the entire width-wise area of the boiler building and respective floor units are installed between the first steel columns respectively.
