VINALIFT Handover: Synchronized Lifting Equipment System for the Xuân Mai Water Plant Project – AONE Deutschland Package

The Hoa Bình – Xuan Mai Water Plant (Ky Sơn, Phu Tho) is a crucial water supply infrastructure for Western Hanoi. Under the lifting equipment package for the investor AONE Deutschland AG, VINALIFT took charge of the design, manufacturing, installation, and inspection of the entire lifting system required for the pump station’s operation and maintenance.

Project Overview & VINALIFT’s Role

The Hoa Bình Water Plant project is vital for ensuring a stable supply of clean water to Western Hanoi and Hoa Bình. Because the plant operates continuously 24/7, every piece of auxiliary equipment—especially the lifting systems used for installing and maintaining pumps – must deliver absolute reliability.

Partnering with the investor AONE Deutschland AG, VINALIFT acted as the general contractor supplying the complete lifting equipment package (Scope of Supply: Design – Manufacture – Installation – Inspection). Our mission goes beyond simply selling equipment; we deliver a synchronized technical solution designed to optimize the plant’s operational workflow for its entire lifecycle.

Challenges of the Water Plant Operating Environment

Before diving into the solutions, it is essential to understand the operational “pain points” the plant’s engineers face, which VINALIFT had to resolve:

• Metal Corrosion: Water treatment plants are characterized by extremely high humidity, compounded by evaporating treatment chemicals like Chlorine. Without superior surface treatment, standard lifting equipment will quickly rust and peel, leading to severe structural safety risks after just a few years.

• Precision in Confined Spaces: Lowering submersible pumps, water valves, or motors precisely onto foundation bolts requires millimeter-level accuracy. Pump pits are typically deep and narrow; any significant load swing or vibration can cause collisions and costly property damage.

• Multi-point Operations: The plant consists of various operation zones, ranging from the main pump house and outdoor material storage to satellite treatment stations. A single type of equipment simply cannot handle every requirement.

VINALIFT’s Project Solutions

Based on comprehensive site surveys and the strict requirements from AONE Deutschland AG, VINALIFT deployed a diverse, multi-type lifting equipment system. The defining success of this project lies in the system’s highly flexible configuration and the premium quality of its surface protection.

Diverse Equipment Solutions for Every Operation Zone

VINALIFT implemented a synchronized lifting system, perfectly customized for each area of the pump station and chemical house:

• 01 Double Girder Overhead Crane (20 tons): 10m span, 8.85m lifting height – engineered for handling heavy equipment clusters.

• 01 Double Girder Gantry Crane (3 tons): 12m span, 24m lifting height – a supplementary lifting solution tailored for outdoor operational areas.

• 01 Jib Crane (0.25 tons): 1.5m span, 24m lifting height – optimized for deep wells and tight, confined spaces.

• 02 Jib Cranes (0.5 tons): 1.5m span, 10m lifting height – perfect for light, highly flexible outdoor operations.

• Single Girder Overhead Crane System (1.5 tons – 2 tons – 5 tons – 10 tons): Strategically distributed across auxiliary areas to meet specific operational and maintenance demands.

This diverse equipment fleet optimizes lifting operations across the entire facility, from initial installation through to routine, long-term maintenance.

Technical Solutions – Engineered for Durability and Stability

• 180-Micron Epoxy Anti-Corrosion System: Every steel structure underwent rigorous surface treatment and was coated with a 180µm Epoxy paint system. This provides exceptional corrosion resistance against the high humidity and chemical vapors inherent to water treatment environments.

• Stable Electrical Control System:

  • Yaskawa inverters guarantee highly precise control, effectively eliminating load swing during lifting.

  • Premium hoists imported from South Korea ensure highly stable operation, perfectly matching the station’s heavy usage frequency.

These specialized components guarantee that the equipment will maintain optimal reliability throughout its operational life.

Implementation Process: From Blueprint to Reality

VINALIFT’s professionalism is reflected in our stringent Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols at every phase:

• Technical Design: Our engineering team precisely calculated structural integrity based on actual load data and spatial constraints, utilizing advanced simulation software to guarantee maximum safety factors.

• Manufacturing: Fully executed at the VINALIFT factory using CNC cutting machines and automated welding technology, all under rigorous expert supervision.

• Installation & Commissioning: Installing the 20-ton overhead crane, and specifically the guide rail system, demanded extreme precision in topographical surveying.

• Safety Inspection: Prior to handover, all equipment was strictly inspected by an independent agency according to TCVN 4244-2005 standards, ensuring full legal and operational compliance.

Results and Long-Term Benefits

The entire lifting system successfully passed TCVN 4244-2005 inspections and has been handed over for active duty. The equipment operates seamlessly, providing highly effective support for pump maintenance, equipment replacement, and the continuous, non-stop operation of the Xuân Mai Water Plant.

• Increased Maintenance Efficiency: Significantly minimizes downtime during pump repairs and replacements thanks to highly flexible and ready-to-use lifting equipment.

• Absolute Safety: Completely eliminates the severe risks of workplace accidents caused by manual heavy lifting or the use of rudimentary tools.

• Long-Term Cost Savings: The combination of premium equipment and advanced Epoxy coatings drastically cuts down the plant’s annual routine maintenance expenses.

Conclusion

The Xuân Mai Water Treatment Plant project clearly highlights VINALIFT’s superior capability in designing, manufacturing, and installing lifting solutions explicitly tailored for the harshest industrial environments. The successful handover of this synchronized system directly safeguards the operational stability and maintenance of the region’s vital water supply infrastructure.

VINALIFT remains firmly committed to partnering with investors across the water treatment, chemical, and specialized heavy industry sectors, consistently delivering lifting solutions optimized for absolute durability, safety, and operational efficiency.

If your enterprise requires expert consultation or the deployment of a highly reliable lifting system for industrial projects, VINALIFT is ready to assist with an elite technical team and proven, nationwide practical experience.
