en.Wedoany.com Reported - An important assembly milestone has been reached for Unit 3 of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, built by Russia's State Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom), with the installation of a 350-ton bridge crane in the turbine hall. The assembly operation was carried out using a heavy-duty crawler mobile crane and took approximately 6 hours.

The installation of this bridge crane will lay the foundation for the assembly of turbine unit equipment and the commencement of subsequent construction phases. During both the construction and operational stages of the unit, the bridge crane will be used for transporting equipment and materials, including turbine rotors weighing over 100 tons, turbine generator components, piping parts, and other equipment. It will also be utilized for the maintenance and scheduled repair work of the turbine unit.

Each unit's turbine hall at the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is equipped with three bridge cranes, which will operate in coordination under an advanced automated control system designed to prevent collisions between the cranes, hooks, and steel cables. The main bridge crane with a lifting capacity of 350 tons is installed on the upper level, while two auxiliary, large-span bridge cranes with lifting capacities of 30 tons and 15 tons respectively are located on the lower level.
