Power Generation

McDonough provides temporary rental elevators to power plants to assist in moving labor and material during an expansion or outage. On average, a worker spends 20 minutes climbing stairs during an outage. This can happen up to 3 times a shift. Apply these numbers to a 21-day outage with 100 skilled laborers averaging $35/hr, and the resulting loss of hours worked (per shift) would cost over $70,000. Not to mention the safety issues involved with moving workers and material up and down congested units.

McDonough has your solution. We supply the power industry with a safe and efficient manner of vertical transportation during outages by offering turnkey services on temporary elevators.

McDonough rack-and-pinion elevators can be installed anywhere there is a need for vertical access. By offering temporary elevator services, McDonough customers do not have to solely depend on stairs or old, unreliable elevators to ensure their personnel safely reach their work area. Because the skilled labor force in the power industry is getting older, climbing stairs while carrying tools or materials can lead to exhaustion; often resulting in poor performance, accidents, or overall delays.

For nearly three decades, McDonough has been meeting the demands of the power generation industry by providing rack and pinion driven elevators for safe, reliable operation. Attaching an elevator to a boiler, SCR, bag house, fly ash silo, scrubber, crusher building, stack or HRSG is common and is known to increase overall worker productivity and safety. McDonough meets industry codes and can be certified to industry standards such as ANSI and OSHA.
