Tofazzal Hossain Babu, Pabna: The installation of bridge crane in the second unit of Rooppur nuclear power plant has been completed. This bridge is installed in the turbine compartment of Unity. The cranes will be used in a variety of projects, including construction, installation, in-service reconstruction, repair, and upgrades. This information was informed in a press release sent by Rosatom, the power plant construction company, on Thursday (September 29). According to the notification, recently VDMU, a special branch of Rosatom engineering department, installed two cranes with a lifting capacity of 50 tons and 180 tons. The weight of the two cranes with other equipment is 130 tons and 280 tons respectively. According to the design, the heavy duty LIBER 11350 crane with a lifting capacity of 1,350 tons is used to install the heaviest equipment. Alexey Deiri, senior vice president of Rooppur project general contractor Atomstroy Export (ASE), said the installation of the bridge crane was a technically complex process involving hundreds of operations. Its successful installation will enable us to install the turbine compartment machinery in the next step. The Rooppur project will house two third-generation Russian VVER-1200 reactors capable of meeting all international safety requirements. The engineering department of the Russian state atomic energy corporation Rosatom is implementing the project as the general contractor.
