Steam converters removed from nuclear power plant with extreme precision

Removing items from a decommissioned nuclear power plant is no everyday job. This project with RWE Nuclear GmbH was no exception.
👉 Mammoet was assigned to remove two steam converters, each weighing around 155t, from the control area of the decommissioned nuclear power plant in Lingen, Germany.
📽️ Watch the video and see how the large components were rotated inside the confined facility and lowered to ground level for transport.

Mammoet: give me 100 dollars and I will move a rc car 1/8th scale

Congratulations on the job well done and one a video that does a fine job of explaining it. I think this is enough detail to explain the challenge, the solutions, and why Mammoet would be a reliable partner for a similar job in the future.

What’s going on with the blue saddles?

F A N T A S T I C !

I assume the coating is just for CC purposes while outdoors?

[@MammoetHeavyLifting]

The coating serves as weather protection.

[@SiiliViin]

If this plant is being demolished, why so careful operation, instead just scrap it? Also, why to paint old scrap metal?

[@randalfranck1938]

China will use it , just like steel mills
climate dosen't chang on stril ppppplants

[@the_GaLaReN]

Why the coating ?

[@MammoetHeavyLifting]

According to our client, the coating serves as weather protection.

Put them back, Germany need all the power they can get instead of buying dirty gas from dictatorships.

[@jimmiller5600]

Well, this plant closed in 1977, so you're a bit late.

Why are they being removed

[@sebastiangiovannella7778]

He says it, decommissioning.

[@kylebell7879]

@@sebastiangiovannella7778 right, what I mean is why are they decommissioning it in the middle of an energy crisis? Are they trying to keep their people poor, cold, and miserable?

[@ShashankRockerYo]

@@kylebell7879 coz nuclear energy BAD. Germany is down the wrong path

[@sebastiangiovannella7778]

@@kylebell7879 from my understanding there is a big sentiment against nuclear energy and it’s potential risks in case of an accident.

[@handlebullshit]

@@sebastiangiovannella7778 Germany is just runt by "green" morons. No problems with modern nuclear energy.
