Symcom Exim, a leading name in the field of heavy equipment salvage, removal and disposal, was contracted by Jawahar Lal Nehru Port Trust Mumbai for the complex task of salvaging, removing and disposing of three Rail Mounted Quay Cranes (RMQC-06, RMQC-07 and RMQC-08) weighing approximately 1000 Ton/unit. The project was completed successfully with the highest level of professionalism and safety.

Project Details

The scope of work for the project involved securely dismantling and breaking the mangled steel of crane wrecks into small sections for safe and easy handling, collecting, and loading into trucks or trailers for transportation to assigned storage locations using suitable equipment and experienced manpower. The project was completed within a period of 6 months and adhered to all safety regulations and protocols.

To begin the project, the Symcom Exim team carried out a thorough site assessment to identify potential risks and hazards. The team worked closely with the project managers at Jawahar Lal Nehru Port Trust Mumbai to ensure that all safety protocols and regulations were strictly followed throughout the project. The team also coordinated with local authorities and waste management companies to ensure that the disposal process was environmentally friendly and compliant.

The dismantling process was done using oxy-acetylene torches and plasma cutters and was executed with great care and precision to prevent any damage to surrounding structures and equipment. The dismantled steel sections were loaded onto specialized trucks and trailers using heavy-duty cranes and forklifts. The transportation of the dismantled steel sections was carried out by a team of experienced drivers and operators, who ensured that the loads were properly secured and that all safety protocols were followed during transportation.

Upon arrival at the assigned storage location, the dismantled steel sections were offloaded and stacked in a systematic and organized manner. The Symcom Exim team ensured that the storage area was secure and properly fenced to prevent unauthorized access.

The project’s final step was the disposal of the dismantled steel sections. Symcom Exim ensured that all disposal procedures were carried out in accordance with relevant regulations and guidelines. The team worked closely with local authorities and waste management companies to ensure that the disposal process was environmentally friendly and compliant.

The successful completion of the Salvage, Removal, and Disposal of three Rail Mounted Quay Cranes (RMQC-06, RMQC-07 and RMQC-08) project is a testament to the expertise and professionalism of Symcom Exim in handling complex and challenging projects. The project was completed on time and within budget, and all safety protocols and regulations were strictly followed throughout the project.
