Rigging & Marine Services (RMS) has successfully executed a 440-ton overhead crane load test at a power facility in Singapore, ensuring the infrastructure remains operationally sound.
The test highlights the crucial role of cranes in managing key components such as turbines and generators, which are vital during maintenance and emergency scenarios.
Any malfunction or delay in crane operations can disrupt critical timelines and potentially stop power production.
RMS conducted the recent test with precision, certifying the crane for use with minimal downtime.
The company’s ability to deliver fast turnarounds in high-pressure settings underscores its dedication to safety and regulatory compliance.
For the project, RMS deployed a specialised suite of tools tailored for power plants and industrial sites.
The operation involved 440 tons of certified modular steel weights, allowing for efficient mobilisation and precise stacking while adhering to certification standards.
Additionally, a custom-designed 600-ton base skid was developed in-house to ensure safe and stable load rigging, even in challenging conditions.
Certified engineers and technicians, experienced in high-capacity load testing across Southeast Asia, conducted the tests with minimal disruption to plant activities.
RMS views each load test as a critical element that contributes to the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the facilities they service.
Rigging & Marine Services, in a LinkedIn post, said: “By ensuring cranes are tested, certified, and operational in the shortest time, RMS helps power plants return to full functionality swiftly and safely.
“We are proud to be a trusted partner in Singapore’s power infrastructure ecosystem, and we remain committed to excellence in every ton we lift.”
