Abstract:
A method for installing a heat recovery steam generator (1) with a plurality of pre-assembled modules (10) includes arranging a pre-assembled module (10) at an installation site. The pre-assembled module (10) includes a functional unit of the heat recovery steam generator (1) housed in a casing structure (12). The casing structure (12) includes a top casing (12a), a bottom casing (12b) and a side casing (12c). An open side (15) is defined opposite to the side casing (12c). The module (10) is arranged horizontally at the installation site with the open side (15) facing downward and the side casing (12c) facing upward. The method includes attaching a structural steel (13) to the side casing (12c) in a horizontal position without lifting the module (10). The module (10) with the attached structural steel (13) is lifted to a vertical position and secured to a foundation (60). Also described is a method for pre-assembling the module (10) and a method for transporting the pre-assembled module (10) to the installation site.
