CUSTOMER CHALLENGE
Multiple factors contributed to the complexity of this removal. The weight of the boiler was not entirely known, as it was filled with water, posing a challenge to our team. In addition, the roof could not be removed as there were critical electrical components within the building that could not be exposed to weather. This eliminated the option for a crane to be used for the entirety of the lift.
OUR SOLUTION
To combat the inability to remove the roof, we instead removed some of the siding on the building and used our trilifters to remove the boiler.
