(b) The next procedure is to route the Chiller into its location i.e. by hoisting Chiller onto the
entrance of loading dock of the Utility Block. Loading area consist of a 10mm thick Flat
steel platform.
This platform shall be supported by steel scaffolding. Placed on the flat steel platform will be
dimensionally arranged steel I-Beams of 250 x 250 x 10mm thick.

(d) To ‘transport’ the Chillers to destination, four (4) Heavy Duty Load Skates’ of nominal
tonnage of 10Tons each will be strategically placed on the I-Beam.

These Chiller units shall then be mechanically ‘rolled’ to and placed on the concrete plinths.
