Role Off Role

Location Andhra Pradesh

Experience 2 to 4 years

Qualification HSC or ITI

Job Description:

An Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) is a massive structural heat exchanger often sitting high above the ground on steel pedestals. Because of the sheer scale and height of these units the role of a Rigger is critical to both the construction and maintenance phases.

Here is a breakdown of what a Rigger does specifically within an ACC environment.

## Core Responsibilities

In an ACC project a rigger isnt just moving boxes; they are handling delicate aluminum fin tubes massive motor-fan assemblies and heavy structural steel.

Lifting & Hoisting: Attaching loads to cranes or hoist systems using slings shackles cables and chains.
Component Positioning: Precisely guiding the placement of A-frame bundles steam headers and motor bridges onto the main structure.
Equipment Inspection: Checking all rigging gear (slings come-alongs shackles) for wear or damage before every lift-essential when working over live equipment.
Signaling: Acting as the eyes for crane operators often using hand signals or radios since the operator usually cannot see the landing point on top of the ACC platform.
Safety Coordination: Setting up red tag zones and ensuring no personnel are underneath a live load during the lift.

## Specialized ACC Tasks

Rigging for an ACC requires a specific touch compared to general construction:

Task	Description
Bundle Lifting	Handling the heat exchanger tube bundles. These are long heavy but surprisingly fragile; improper rigging can crush the aluminum fins.
Fan Deck Assembly	Lifting large-diameter fan blades and gearboxes into the cells. This often requires working in tight windy spaces.
Work at Height	ACC platforms are typically 20 30 meters (65 100 feet) high. Riggers spend most of their shift harnessed and working on open steel grating.
Temporary Rigging	Setting up tuggers or chain falls inside the ACC plenum to move motors or gearboxes for maintenance.

## Skills & Requirements

Certification: Usually requires a nationally recognized rigging certification (like NCCCO in the US or equivalent regional standards).
Knots & Hitching: Mastery of various hitches (choker basket vertical) and calculating the Safe Working Load (SWL).
Physical Stamina: Ability to climb vertical ladders and work in extreme temperatures (ACCs are often located in hot arid environments).
Spatial Awareness: Understanding how wind speeds affect a large flat surface like a tube bundle during a lift.

## Safety Essentials

The Golden Rule: In an ACC environment the biggest risks are dropped objects and high winds. A rigger must be able to call the lift (stop work) if wind speeds exceed the safety threshold for the crane or the specific surface area of the load.
