Replacement of MSR’s at nuclear power plant, Spain

ALE was contracted to replace four Molten Salt Reactors (MSR’s) as part of a power plant upgrade. 

ALE used a 4 x 60te capacity climbing jack system to transfer the new MSRs from the road trailers they were received on to temporary supports and transport beams. The existing MSRs were then removed from inside the turbine building using ten axles of SPT and transported within the plant to the scrap depot. The new MSRs, each weighing 150te, were then transported using SPTs to the turbine building where they were unloaded and lifted to their final installation positions using the climbing jack system.
