Procedures for Lifting up Modules
When lifting up modules, for instance, when delivering them for installation, installing them, or removing them
for maintenance, appropriate construction machinery, tools, and a work plan are required to ensure safety and
to prevent module damage. A chain block or crane is required to lift modules.
Refer to Figure 5-7, when lifting modules: always use a balance and make sure that the minimum sling angle
is 60 degrees. All modules have four or six lifting lugs for attaching lifting tools. Select a crane or chain block,
a balance, wire rope, SUS chain, hooks, shackles, etc. by referring to values in Figure 5-8 and Table 5-2(p.39),
in light of the working environment at the treatment plant, the state of sludge adhesion, etc. Take into account
corrosion and other effects when selecting materials for chains, shackles, and other components which will be
constantly immersed in sludge.
WAR N I N G
As the modules are very heavy, when using forklifts and cranes make sure that all apparatus is
inspected and certified, and all operators are certified.
Do not stand underneath the modules when they are being lifted.
