175 X Nemetschek Structural User Contest 2013 - Category 3: Industrial Buildings and Plants 3 Short description │Extraction and Replacement of a Large Stator Assembly The project objective was the extraction and replacement of a large stator assembly at the Collahuasi Copper Mine in Chile. The stator assembly was composed of 4 quadrants with the heaviest weighing 118.5 US tons. This process required the design and construction of a temporary gantry system to lift the stators over the existing conveyor systems at the plant. The project was very challenging due to extremely tight working conditions, the sheer size and mass of the components and the intense seismic forces the gantry system had to be designed for. 3D models of every component involved in the process were created and a 4D simulation was prepared to guide the crews on site.
