Method for installing a heavy load in a supporting structure and a system built according to the method

Abstract

In a method for installing a heavy load in a supporting structure, the supporting structure (15) consists of supporting elements which can preferably be assembled one above the other and is assembled at least by a crane system A lifting system (25), preferably a strand jack system, is mounted in the supporting structure (15), the heavy load to be installed is then connected to several longitudinal elements (34) of the lifting system (25) and conveyed upwards in this supporting structure (15) and the heavy load is fixed in the supporting structure, in particular in the operating position. The lifting system (25), mounted at a certain height in the supporting structure (15), is provided with a cavity (44′) on the inside through which the heavy load can be lifted in the supporting structure, up to the operating position and fixed there. With this method, the heavy load, which is in particular a reactor for metal extraction, can be guided to the supporting structure in the assembled stale despite the enormously high weight load, which can vary, and safely pulled up into said supporting structure into the operating position.
