What The Client Needed
A fabrication shed with heavy welding activity and an EOT crane running the length of the bay. Operators reported heat fatigue by mid-shift, and pedestal fans obstructed material movement between stations.
Selection & Layout
Fan positions were planned around the crane girder and hook path from the crane GA drawing. Three 20 ft geared fans on the bay centreline gave complete coverage without entering the crane sweep. VFD speed was set so shielded welding stations are not affected at working speed.
Result Achieved
Pedestal fans were removed from the floor entirely, freeing circulation space between stations. Operators report a consistent working environment across the full shift.
