Fagioli PSC India Pvt. Ltd, a joint venture between Gemini Group, Fagioli SpA of Italy and Fagioli Ltd, UK, announced the successful and safe completion of its 50th boiler drum lifting project for JSW Energy Ltd at the upcoming 4x300-mw Jaigad power plant in Ratnagiri district.
With this, Fagioli PSC India has lifted a total of 9,890 tonnes of boilers, a company statement said. Lifting of a boiler drum is considered as an important milestone during the construction phase of a thermal power plant. Incidentally, Fagioli PSC India introduced the usage of strand jacks for boiler lifting when it entered the business in late 2004. The old practice of using winches besides being time consuming is now considered unsafe universally.
Commenting on the occasion, Rajiv Sethi, Managing Director, Fagioli India PSC, noted, “In the current scenario, where the construction industry is experiencing a slowdown, this is indeed a huge achievement for us.”
