8. Assembling Ladders, Platforms and Catwalks
40 PNEG-1708 GSI Modular Tower Dryer
Attaching Catwalks and Platforms to Dryer Modules
Catwalks and platforms are attached to the appropriate modules while they are on the ground, before
modules are stacked on other modules or lifted into place on the unload module.
5. Remove four (4) bolts per seam on sections to attach catwalk support braces. Be careful not to push
bolts back into channel between the screens. If bolts are accidentally pushed back into the channel
when installing the catwalk support brackets, the easiest way to remove them is by creating an
extra-long handled wrench. An example of this is shown in
Figure 8P . Attach a regular wrench to a
long pole, in this case one of the long safety cage bars was used. A crew member can then access
the bolt from the channel by reaching in with the extra-long wrench. Carpenter’s putty can be placed
on the end to help pick up the bolt if needed. The wrench can then be used to hold the bolt in place
back in the proper hole as it is re-tightened.
