To reach this platform, engineers transported equipment using a cherry picker and a narrow gantry walkway suspended below the ducting. Access was so restricted, only one engineer could inspect or replace the bearings, making the process slower than normal.<\/p><p>\u2028To make any bearing maintenance or replacement possible, the contractor erected a large-scale health and safety perimeter that could remain in place for up to three days \u2013 a significant inconvenience to such a high-output steel processing facility.<\/p><p>\u2028The primary driver for this client was reducing downtime. Knowing a split bearing could potentially achieve that, the onsite team had contacted a number of vendors, but none had been able to accommodate their request due to inventory shortages.<\/p><p>With considerable stock holdings at strategic locations globally, Bowman did not hesitate to take on the challenge.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee45ba1 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"ee45ba1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-533003e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-heading\" data-id=\"533003e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" ><div class=\"ekit-heading elementskit-section-title-wraper text_left   ekit_heading_tablet-   ekit_heading_mobile-\"><h3 class=\"ekit-heading--title elementskit-section-title  ekit-heading__title-has-border start\">Bowman Solution<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61073db8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"61073db8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Confident that its Advanced Split Roller Bearing could be installed considerably faster than the current three day timeframe, Bowman set about designing a modified pedestal arrangement to accompany two fixed and two floating 80mm diameter bearings. This customised approach would prevent the need for retrofitting in such a challenging environment, further reducing overall downtime.<\/p><p>The customised pedestal was designed quickly, with detailed drawings provided just 48 hours after the customer\u2019s initial enquiry. To further assist the onsite contractor, Bowman sent Technical Manager, Matt Simmons to the facility in Mainland Europe to assist and educate the engineers during the installation.<\/p><p>Bowman\u2019s split roller bearings assemble radially around the shaft using the cage rollers to lock the two halves in place, eliminating the use of small and easy to lose clips and other locking components \u2013 keeping downtime minimal for time-sensitive facilities.<\/p><p>Bowman\u2019s solution reduced the total bearing replacement downtime by 50%, from 3 days to 1.5 days, far exceeding the customer\u2019s expectations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f6aa4b0 e-con-full e-flex
