34 PNEG-1708 GSI Modular Tower Dryer
8. Assembling Ladders, Platforms and Catwalks
Crate as Work Bench
Because the base/unload module requires the epoxy to set for a MINIMUM of 4 hours before other
modules can be set on top of it, this is an excellent time to begin assembly of the ladders, platforms and
catwalks. Once the crate is empty, use a hammer to pound the exposed nails and/or staples back into the
frame so that the surface is smooth.
The crate makes an excellent work bench for assembling items throughout the installation process.
(See Figure 8A and Figure 8B.)
Figure 8A Crate as Work Bench
Once the modules have been staged, open the crate that shipped with the dryer modules.
The crate contains catwalk and/or platform materials, ladders and safety cages, as well as the hoses for
pipe train.
Optional items such as an auger kit will also ship in crates. Installation instructions for optional accessories
are in separate installation manuals.
Unload the materials from the crate and place them nearby in like-item groups (i.e. gas train pipes
together, catwalk and platform flooring together, etc).
