Dow Benelux B.V. of Terneuzen, the Netherlands has recently awarded 3 more contracts to FG International Holland BV, the Dutch special lifting company.

The 2010 cooperation between the affiliate of The Dow Chemical Company and FG started with work on several spheres as well as an assignment at the Equate plant at Kuwait, in which Dow is the biggest shareholder.

In December 2010 the above pictured repair and maintenance of the top of column DA442 was smoothly performed. FG created a lifting and access tool which enabled the FG engineers to execute the job without introducing weight and forces on the rooftop.

Detailed engineering on the internal strength and existing terraces of the column proofed the construction would be well capable of surviving the unpredictable Dutch winter climate.

The limited footprint being an essential design criterion, FG found the solution in multiple truss constructions resembling a miniature container crane.
