Case Studies

Magnox Berkeley – Active Waste Vault Crane At Berkeley’s active waste storage facility, SCX Special Projects engineered, built, and installed a 7-tonne SWL crane to collect and store the active waste skips within the confined space and deep channels of a specially designated buffer store facility. Case Study | Aerospace, Nuclear & Defence Magnox Berkeley - ILW Import/Export Nuclear Cranes At the Berkeley Magnox power station, SCX Special Projects delivered a new mechanical handling solution, with semi-automated operation, to satisfy Berkeley's enhanced safety case. Case Study | Aerospace, Nuclear & Defence Qatar World Cup Fan Zone Retractable Roof For this project, SCX developed a retractable roof for this 10,000-capacity structure in Qatar. When fully deployed, the roof works in tandem with its ground-breaking cooling technology to withstand temperatures exceeding 45°C (113°F). Case Study | Stadia & Entertainment Travelling Vertical Access – Bridge Mast For this project, SCX devised a travelling vertical access bridge mast that runs upon recessed rails located at the top and bottom of the building’s aluminium facia, complete with a self-levelling cradle for passengers a robust control solution. Case Study | Special Handling Solutions UK Nuclear Licensed Site – Semi-Automated Raft Cranes To meet the challenge, SCX Special Projects engineered one of the most advanced cranes it has ever produced. It called on every engineering discipline from mechanical, to electrical, to hydraulic, to controls, to safety. Case Study | Aerospace, Nuclear & Defence Petrochemical Vessel Demolition Mast In this application, SCX Special Projects engineered a robust mast-based access solution that can be moved and redeployed to service multiple petrochemical reaction vessels, keeping the plant running, while also keeping staff safe from harm. Case Study | Special Handling Solutions Kiln Access Systems In this bespoke application, SCX's expertise is called upon to provide a safe, stable and reliable platform for maintenance staff to descend below ground to access kilns used in the smelting of aluminium. Case Study | Special Handling Solutions Moving Structures: Rotating Roof Cowls Large cylinders are used in the enrichment process of Uranium Hexafluoride (UF6), and depleted materials known as ‘Tails’ need to be thoroughly washed from those cylinders to prevent contamination. Case Study | Kinetic Architecture UK Nuclear Licensed Site - Cylinder Wash Stations Large cylinders are used in the enrichment process of Uranium Hexafluoride (UF6), and depleted materials known as ‘Tails’ need to be thoroughly washed from those cylinders to prevent contamination. Case Study | Aerospace, Nuclear & Defence Bespoke Rotation Rig & Air Skate Very often, innovative manufacturing handling solutions need to be built from scratch, bespoke, and tailored to the precise requirements of the client's new process.
