70 ton rotor drop

[se4821]

Overtime. Yeeeeehaaaaaaa

[kono993]

i bet you want to see when it falls...go to 1:14 lol

[Chris17psi]

TOAST!!

[kw2013669]

atleast it fell into place

to bad its damaged lol

[kw2013669]

atleast it fell into place

[007Asdi]

lack of safety...

[007Asdi]

lack of safety...

[007Asdi]

lack of safety...

[kingofpolska87]

thats not an Alstom Rotor!!!!!!

Alstom have no Bearing between difusor and GT!!!!!!!!

[canadaguy2112ca]

Why was that guy walking there?? Doesn't seem safe. He probably was the safety officer...

[Gingerpex]

it'll be fine bit of emery and some scotchbrite it'll be running in no time!

[itsChristonabike]

@Gingerpex the brown scotchbrite, the green is a bit rough... :o) unless your Alstom in which case just box it up!

[Xantec]

looks like metal fatigue in the crane's winch assembly, it failed and the weight of the load just took the rest of the line

[davfritz]

Just rattle the thing into it's resting place and screw the lid on. Then collect your pay and get out of there.

70 Ton Fail!

[DRNEGOLICIS]

damn thats a huge money loss down the drain i doubt that rotor is 70 tons maybe 40 at the most

[AirCargoHeavy]

Bummus!

[1neutral10]

it,ll be ok, just box the fucker up.

[choicecheese]

@1neutral10 aha

[FOGoticus]

Hmm. Crane fail...

[swatcat7928]

the turbine it will work just fine :))))))

[pacifictny]

Dear swatcat7928 ,

turbine will not work fine because

1)some blades have been damaged,so it will not be fit inside upper fixed blade casing.

2)Center of gravity of rotor has to be balanced followed by damaged blades replaced by new blades.

[swatcat7928]

@pacifictny it was a joke :)))

[kartkid100]

couple million dollars down the drain...

[soloweysolowey]

Мужичок в рубашке родился...

[hughjarrse]

@soloweysolowey Rozhdenniy bit' udachlivim

[levisalo]

There she sits boys!!

[laikouras]

first of all its not the crain operator's fault! second of all its noone's fault! just the crane's fault :P and last theres no way this rotor is 70 tons....it should be about 30-35 tons maximum

[hughjarrse]

This video was blue toothed to my phone under the title "70 ton rotor drop" so that's what I titled it, I know Alstom rotors in GT26's AND GT13's are less than 70 tons, but they have a special hollow fabrication process, and you have to realize the lifting beam adds about 7 tones.

[mattdick01]

@laikouras well the rotor and beam i just picked on a w501f weighed 120t...

[gazomg]

lol som1 is going ot lose their job and get black balled for a long time over that

[MrJackpoppy]

perfect fit

[hughjarrse]

A bit tip grinding on the blades, no one will be any the wiser!

[mcwolfus]

ooh, butter fingers.

[gliderp]

Ooopsie. LOL!

[gefferzz]

i'll just plonk it here lads time for a brew

(crain operator's thoughts)

[apriltheduck1]

The crane breaks failed - I've seen it before

[unholyconfessions413]

well... that's one way of placing the rotor... lol

[hughjarrse]

After a bit of tip grinding it will be just fine!

[Palenka]

bet you guys have some nice health benefits lol

[sasho54]

What a stupid happening. Poor rotor.

[Ciddusan]

maybe to many stop and go,since the first moment that was something wrong with the crane, in the lasts lowering movements the deceleracion was too long. F***k.

[poosnip]

Whoo was 'Lola'  on this lift ?

[mbfpt]

First rule of LOLER, never stand under a suspended load!!!!

[Ciddusan]

correct

[poosnip]

erm.............  How much????

[darryldelay]

I saw this on tv about how the turbin fits into the housing so both were damaged?

[elemineseslapolla]

the crane was probably made in malaysia

[xxxavier63]

damn, the crane was whistling its guts out before failing,, he moved out because he heard the crane brakes screaming to hold the load...!

[kurthageman]

at 1:10 that man was lucky he got out of the way

[Svendogga]

i believe this rotor power's a an electric generator but i am not 100% sure. I have seen 1 like this in a nuclear plant in Germany, as it was being serviced.

[fpm1979]

Such a rare event and a camera recorded that accident. Possibly the jar with every stop of the loaded crane was too much. Imagine if that turbine would had felt down from a higher level to solid ground perhaps with a worker underneath. The loss of time until it was repared was certainly more costly than the damaged turbine. Hopefully the bearing wasn't damaged. Oh, and to lift the turbine a crane was needed, but the only available one needed to be repaired first.

[pauljosullivan]

'Hopefully the bearing wasn't damaged'. For goodness sake.

[mbfpt]

Is that you Paddy?

[pauljosullivan]

Sure is. Whos this then ?

[mbfpt]

How about a nice big cup of shut the ***k up? That should give you a clue!

[pauljosullivan]

Quality ! I'll never forget that one ! Hope you are keeping well lad. I still laugh about that.

mbfpt ? You should have called yourself something more classy.

[mbfpt]

What are you doing work wise?

[pesciolinoad]

che danno!!!

[kwisatz1]

wow

[kwisatz1]

wow i never wanted to see another turbine part agian in my life.

[kwisatz1]

wow i didn't ever want to see another turbine part in my life!!!!!

[LewyTheFlyS13]

That was very expensive and very dangerous

I was cringing when the guy walked under it before it fell

[jetson59o]

Did they have insurance?

[jetson59o]

Well there you have it, the fastest way to install a 70 ton rotor...

[HBS1984]

That turbine rotor is done for, that was an expensive drop..

[apeppink]

God, that guy was lucky. Where'd that happen?

[hughjarrse]

Harculo power station in Holland 17 Oct 2003, the thing I find funny is now days they use a highly sophisticated rotor lifting beam, doing away with the strops, but it was the coupling that failed not the strops, I've walked under dozens of rotors before, but not any more... lol

[apeppink]

I NEVER walk under a suspended load. It's a basic safety violation if nothing else.
