Alliance has had a long-standing successful relationship with El Paso Water. Alliance had previously installed the same Digester Lid (12) years ago and utilized an LR 1280 & LR 1200 in tandem to hoist the Lid into place. Alliance submitted a 3D Lift Plan during the bid process to present with and to allow the customer to have a better visualization of how the lift would take place.

Planning for the lift also had its difficulties. The Digester Lid had been in its location for approximately (12) years, had scale build up and needed an engineer review to ensure it could go through the lifting process. The Lid was 90’ feet wide and consisted of (22) Steel Trusses, Steel Ceiling Plates, and an exterior Steel Ring. The rigging designed by Alliance & Eddie Castle with Kilo Structures started from top to bottom with (2) Steel Round Sling Wire Rope Grommets, (2) 75 Ton Wide Body Shackles, a Collector Ring, (32) 9.8 Ton Shackles, (32) Steel Slings, (16) 25 Ton Shackles, (16) 2” Turnbuckles, then lastly attaching to (16) Custom Fabricated & Engineered Lifting Lugs which were Welded to the Trusses. In total the with rigging the Digester Lid weighed 289,339lbs. 3D Lift Plan helped visualize and calculate the location and weights of all the Rigging that was utilized.
