Customised need based solution to accelerate the progress

Past Projects

Since our inception, we have been working with management teams, strategic teams to provide the best possible support to achieve a shared vision for the future of our portfolio companies. At time, there are complex situations, unforeseen challenges where highlighting and extracting practical principles and methods for accelerating progress is an innovation. We pin up our disappointments, carry the learnings, change the perspective and march forward. Each lift is different from another, sometimes there is more than one challenge. When a crane is in the hands of a qualified team, detailed planning and fantastic administration mean no disappointment.

Wind Energy

India is holding 3rd position in the renewable energy sector and we are proud of her achievement. SML, for over the past 17 years, has erected approx. 10GW of windmills all over India and is a preferred partner to all the leading OEM’s as well as IPPs. In spite of our achievements & experience, weather monitoring and forecasting have always come up as a challenge. SML's CC 3800-1 [132+12] SDB with 250MT super lift counterweight erected a windmill tower at 127m hub height & 100t nacelle weight for one of our prestigious clients in the Jagaluru (KA) region in recent times.

Steel Sector

SML carried out a tandem lift operation of two downcomer ducts using LR1750 (SLDB Configuration) to reach the elevation height of 44mtr in a Steel plant at Angul(IN). The Downcomer Ducts were weighing 250 & 100MT respectively. The workspace was very confined for the crane to lift the load in the service radius. In response, SML's team of experts reeved the 100MT load from an identified point for safer and faster erection, so that it could be taken to the furnace conveniently. With tremendous coordination with our lifting partner, downcomer ducts were successfully installed within the stipulated timeframe.

Railway & Metro

Railway

Erecting a ROB girder does not sound like a difficult task in usual cases, but this job was an exception. Asaoti Orbital Rail corridor from Palwal to Sonipat is one of the busiest and largest railroad corridors in India. The maximum time that the railroad authority could halt train traffic at this junction was as close as 4hrs. SML, submitted the design plan a few months before so that all on-site teams could know the lifting movements. SML used their two DemagCC2800-1 (SSL and SH/LH configuration) in a tandem lift to erect a 106MT ROB Girder. Although there was a time constraint, we did not overlook even a single safety parameter. In the 4hours check, the girder was placed and fixed successfully.

Metro

The urban sector /area turns out to be progressively packed and more congested. This was a small urban metro project in the crowded city Mumbai with the littlest space to work on. The main objective was to finish the job quickly and carefully. Optimised handling of MTBM piece with a 400MT crane is rare but with precision in the designs, readiness to toil in compact space with limited operational movement, our main crane– Liebherr LR 1400-2 completed lifting of TBM (175MT) smoothly for our Client Project of MMRDA.

Power Plant

Sometimes, the mobilisation of crane parts to the job site becomes a challenge. It took us narrow access, remote villages, and interior routes for crane parts to reach the designated job site. With so many safety concerns and handling the heaviest (212MT) single girder erection; careful planning was vital for reaching the elevation height of 90m. But challenges fascinates us. Hence, lifting the heaviest ceiling girder at this elevation height happened at a successful maiden attempt.

Cement Sector

A cyclone weighing 25MT had to be lifted in the vertical position to make it to the elevation height of 150m was the biggest ever vertical lift assignment for SML. Demag CC2800-1 with HSWSL configuration with the main boom length of 96m, SL C/wt of 100MT, and lifting capacity of 600MT carried out the load at this Cement plant works. It was vital to maintain the stability of the crane as there were frequent encounters of heavy wind gusts. The lifts were planned during the period when wind speed was less to eliminate any unforeseen risk at the site.

Petrochemical

Our Panipat petrochemical project is the best example of coordination, optimism and acute operational excellence. SML LR1750 was a tailing crane at the said project, tailing of Wash Tower weighing 1000MT and 100m long. SML along with the associate crane partner company successfully installed the wash tower by following tremendous precision and coordination.

Infrastructure and Other

SML is known for pushing the limits every time. However, there is a lot of planning & coordination required at the back. A fabricated ROB erection was pre-scheduled at Mumbai-Baroda Expressway amidst the lockdown time in the year 2020. SML deployed 2x 400MT LR1400-1crawler cranes to lift 165 MT girder erection. SML has widespread experience in erecting bridges and heavy infrastructures across the nation. The global pandemic period was very difficult for everyone especially, executing the job with safety precautions, restricted time window and limited manpower. Despite the fact, SML finished a few projects including ROB Girder Bridge.
