nnnnDongfang (Guangzhou) Heavy Machinery Co. Ltd
nnnn(DFHM) was founded in 2004 as a world-class
nnnnmanufacturer of large and complex components for
nnnnnuclear power generation and petrochemical plants.
nnnnThe parent company, Dongfang Electric Corpora-
nnnntion (DEC), is listed by the State Council, Assets
nnnnSupervision and Administration Committee as
nnnnone of the 53 key state-owned enterprises critical
nnnnto China's national security and economy. China
nnnnis emphasizing nuclear power generation as one of
nnnnthe ways to reduce pollution from traditional coal-
nnnnfired power plants and to meet the country's rapidly
nnnngrowing energy demands.
nnnnThe construction of the DFHM manufacturing
nnnnfacility was an important project for China, signal-
nnnning to the world its new heavy industrial capabilities.
nnnnChina United Engineering Corporation designed
nnnnthe facility and was awarded the China Civil Engi-
nnnnneering Society Zhan Tianyou Award, which is the
nnnncountry's highest engineering award. This was the
nnnnfirst time the award was given for an industrial
nnnnproject and shares honors with other world-renowned
nnnnChinese projects such as the National Stadium
nnnn(Bird's Nest), National Swimming Center (Water
nnnnCube) and Beijing International Airport Terminal 3.
nnnnThe first phase of the manufacturing plant required
nnnna massive door that would allow a 1 400 ton over-
nnnnhead crane to exit the building to unload large rough
nnnnmaterials and load finished components onto trans-
nnnnport ships. After reviewing all their options, the de-
nnnnsign team chose Megadoor to supply the crane door.
nnnnCritical Issues:
nnnn• Reliability - The crane door is opened regularly
nnnnand is a critical part of the production process.
nnnnIf the crane door is inoperable, the negative fi-
nnnnnancial impact from production or shipping de-
nnnnlays will be significant.
nnnn• Cost of ownership - Minimize maintenance
nnnncosts associated with regular usage in a corrosive
nnnnmarine environment.
nnnn• Building loads - The loads imposed by the
nnnncrane door on the building structure can add sig-
nnnnnificant construction costs.
nnnn• Support- Local support for service, parts and
nnnnpreventative maintenance.
nnnnMegadoor Provided:
nnnn• Overhead crane door design and facilitated the
nnnnstructural integration of the door system with
nnnnthe building.
nnnn• (1) 3-part overhead crane door system. Center
nnnndoor dimensions are 28 m clear width x 32.8 m
nnnnclear height (92'x 108'). When the crane rail
nnnndoors and mullions are opened, they allow a
nnnn35.5 m (116') wide crane to move in and out of
nnnnthe building.
nnnn• Project coordination, installation, after-sales
nnnnsupport and quarterly preventative maintenance
nnnnprovided by Crawford China's local Guangzhou
nnnnoffice.
nnnnBenefits:
nnnn• Quality and reliability - Megadoor is the world
nnnnleader in supplying large, complex door systems
nnnnfor heavy industry. Over the last 25 years,
nnnnMegadoor has earned a reputation for quality
nnnnproducts, performing reliably, in the world's
nnnnharshest environments. Managers in steel mills,
nnnnshipyards, military bases and manufacturing
nnnnplants across the globe count on Megadoor over-
nnnnhead crane doors in their production process.
nnnn• Cost of ownership - The Megadoor is engineered
nnnnfor high-cycle usage by minimizing the amount
nnnnof moving parts and wear items in the door sys-
nnnntem. Additionally, the majority of door com-
nnnnponents are manufactured out aluminum and
nnnnPVC-coated polyester fabric, which eliminates
nnnncorrosion costs and painting, making Megadoor
nnnnthe clear choice for marine environments.
nnnn• Building loads - The strong but lightweight
nnnnaluminum and PVC-coated polyester fabric con-
nnnnstruction minimizes the weight of the Megadoor
nnnnsystem and loads imposed on a building struc-
nnnnture. Other crane door systems manufactured
nnnnout of steel cost substantially more to support.
nnnn• Support - Megadoor is a part of Cardo Entrance
nnnnSolutions, which also includes the globally recog-
nnnnnized Crawford brand for door and docking so-
nnnnlutions. We have built the most extensive service
nnnnorganization in the industry with over 50 skilled
nnnnCrawford service engineers in China who are ready
nnnnto provide scheduled preventive maintenance as
nnnnwell as urgent repairs. In China, we have sev-
nnnnen strategically located offices, including our
nnnnGuangzhou office that supports DFHM.
