Works on recovery of Unit 4 Turbine Hall roof are in progress within the Shelter Object Local Zone

This crane, along with the other two being already on the site, will be used to remove the remaining wall panels damaged as a result of the collapse in February this year. These works are of high complexity, because a direct access to the panels is blocked by metal towers erected during elimination of the accident consequences in 1986. Following the removal of the damaged panels from behind the metal towers and their bringing down on the ground, they will be fragmented and transported out for disposal at the RWDF “Buryakovka”.

In addition Crane­ КС–8165 will be used for installation of a covering three-dimensional block, by which the opening in the roof of Unit 4 Turbine Hall at axes 50-52 will be closed. Another crane, the forth one, lifting Crane POTAIN MD-3200 will assembled on the site to lift and install the covering three-dimensional block. All metal structures of the covering three-dimensional block have been already delivered to 10-km zone, and part of them has been already delivered to the ChNPP industrial site for pre-assembly.
