In addition to the high requirements for container suppliers on power plant sites, the project also presents some special challenges. <\/p>\n<p>This year, the overhaul at the Wedel power plant will begin in spring, and in March 2017 AMTRA will build a two-storey facility for this purpose, the size of which will push us to the limits of what is feasible in terms of the available installation space.<\/p>\n<p>For logistical reasons, the extensive container system has to be set up under one of the conveyor belts that transport the coal from a large stockpile to the furnaces. When setting up the second floor in particular, crane operators and fitters often only have a few centimetres of space to set the containers down in the right place. <\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, fast and precise work is required here, as the trucks are scheduled to deliver the containers on a tight schedule.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/amtra-gmbh.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Vattenfall_P1030242-2048&#215;1536-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Vattenfall_P1030242-2048&#215;1536&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||1em||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"av-special-heading-tag \" itemprop=\"headline\">Error-free truck scheduling is an important factor<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Due to the ongoing operation of the power plant, our employees have to set up the plant as quickly and smoothly as possible.
