10. Lifting and Stacking the Modules
PNEG-1708 GSI Modular Tower Dryer 57
3. When maneuvering lifted modules across open ground, have personnel beside it to guide it and
minimize sway. When lifting the module on top of another module, be sure personnel have hard hats.
4. Carefully lower the module so that the connecting channels of each module are touching and can be
connected with nuts and bolts, however, do NOT lower fully at this time.
DO NOT REST THE UPPER MODULE(S) ON THE LOWER MODULE(S) AT THIS TIME. KEEP
SOME DEGREE OF TENSION ON THE MODULE FROM THE CRANE. ONLY FULLY LOWER
THE UPPER MODULE(S) ONCE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE MADE AT THE CONNECTING
CHANNELS WITH NUTS AND BOLTS.

5. Use the punches to line up connecting holes so that nuts and bolts can be loosely inserted at this time.
NOTE: Significant hammering and prying to accomplish hole alignment is to be expected.

NOTE: Ideally, crews will work in two (2) person teams with one team working inside the dryer and one
team working outside the dryer. Each person should have at least two (2) punches with narrow
pointed tips and long enough to provide significant leverage. Place step ladders and tools INSIDE
modules before stacking for ease of access.
