Efficient use of storage space is a challenge for factories producing concrete tunnelling segments. The size and shape of these segments take up substantial yard space. As production volumes increase, many producers are looking for smarter and more efficient solutions. A recent project with AFCONS Infrastructure Ltd. \u2014 a major construction company and part of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group \u2014 shows exactly what\u2019s possible.<\/em><\/p>\n

The challenge: safe and efficient storage of tunnelling segments<\/h2>\n

Tunnelling segments are not just heavy\u2014they\u2019re irregularly shaped and space-consuming. Storing them horizontally means using a large surface area. That space could otherwise be used for additional stock, operations or logistics. Moreover, moving and stacking these segments comes with significant safety concerns.<\/p>\n

The solution: vertical stacking with vacuum tilting technology<\/h2>\n

Aerolift 90-degree vacuum tilter provides an innovative yet simple answer. By tilting each tunnelling segment from horizontal to vertical, it becomes possible to stack them upright, creating pyramid-shaped stacks up to four segments high. The vacuum tilter handles lifting and tilting in one smooth movement, with no manual effort. The result is a more compact, organised and safer yard.<\/p>\n

The result: Afcons is able to save up to 65% storage space<\/h2>\n

\u00a0Delivered via Aerolift\u2019s local partner Trikausch, 90-degree vacuum tilters were commissioned at one of Afcons\u2019 sites earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Since implementation, Afcons has been able to stack segments in pyramid formations, enabling up to a 65% reduction in required storage space. The solution not only optimised their layout but also improved handling safety and efficiency.<\/p>\n
