We recently dismantled a Philips Achieva in the Netherlands, and the de-installation offered a series of interesting challenges! Located on the first floor, the scanner needed to be rigged on a narrow corridor with several sharp curves to get to a wall opening overlooking the roof of the hospitalโs emergency unit. The roof was unable to support the weight of the 5-ton magnet, so our dismantle team needed to employ a crane with a suspended basket, floating above the roof!
There is a 30cm height difference between the floor and the wall opening, therefore they raised the magnet on to a wooden platform, allowing it to be carefully pushed on towards the basket. The basket was then lifted and lowered down to street level from which the magnet could be craned on the freight vehicle ๐ช This was all done in the late evening hours to ensure that the emergency unit could be evacuated while the lift-out took place.
Despite various challenges, we successfully completed the de-installation with the assistance of our esteemed partners - Verhaar, Goring Medical Projects Ltd, and Convoi!
A large thank you to the hard-working team, who did very well to fetch the magnet from its now former home in a safe and timely manner during a mammoth shift ๐
