The problem:
In the refinery pictured (right), access to a valve was impossible from the catwalk.

Possible solutions?
1. The Relocate valve to a more work location
2. The Reengineer catwalk to allow access to steam
3. Call Roto Hammer for a custom solution

Before
Relocating the valve was impossible, and creating a new catwalk was cost prohibitive. Our customer opted to call Roto Hammer. He immediately spoke to one of Our Custom Solution Specialists, who was able to walk the customer through several options. Our final Solution was to engineer the an extension control with gear box and hand wheel to bridge the short between the valve and the catwalk.

After
As you can see from the "before" and "after" pictures, the valve is now easily accessible to an operator standing on the catwalk. While this solution was entirely customized to the customer 's unique situation, the - set up the was built using off - the - shelf parts. The finished product was shipped out to the customer within 72 hours of the order date, at a total cost of less than $2500.
