Method of building a boiler frame
View Patent ↗New and useful method of building a boiler frame significantly reduces the use of high load-lifting height crane and improves the operation efficiency despite bad weather. Multiple levels of steel supporting posts, which are established beforehand, are linked together with their top portion by beams and the 9th floor unit is fixed to the posts at an intermediate floor position temporarily. Suspension rods, which are suspended from lifting jacks, are then connected to the 8th floor unit and jacked up, while floor units made for lower than the 8th floor are connected on the ground to form a multi-floor unit. After connecting the multi-floor unit to the 9th floor unit the temporary fixation is released, the multi-floor unit is lifted up, and each floor unit is permanently fixed to the designated floor position repeatedly and respectively.
1. A method of building a boiler frame comprising the steps of:
extending supporting posts to a top level,
a top floor unit being temporarily fixed to a height corresponding to an intermediate floor level between the supporting posts, a top of the supporting posts being connected by beams to form a top area;
installing a lifting jack on the top area, the lifting jack being connected to the top floor unit and an intermediate floor unit with a traction device suspended from the lifting jack;
forming a multi-floor unit by linking the intermediate floor unit and at least one lower floor unit with a linking device;
lifting the multi-floor unit with the traction device to a floor level below the top floor unit;
connecting the top floor unit to the multi-floor unit with the linking device;
temporarily fixing the lower floor unit to the supporting posts at a middle position prior to disengaging the lower floor unit from the multi-floor unit;
releasing the temporary fixation of the top floor unit from the supporting posts;
jacking up the top floor unit and the multi-floor unit excluding the lower floor unit; and
permanently fixing the top floor unit and each floor of the multi-floor unit to respective designated positions.
2. The method of building a boiler as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lifting jack is a center hole type lifting jack.
