Mountain recently mobilized for a major crane-assisted maintenance and upgrade project at Talen Energy’s power plant in Colstrip, Montana
As part of the ongoing 2024 phase of this project, our crews are working alongside Talen Energy through mid-July to remove and replace essential cooling tower components. The scope of work includes:
Beam removal and replacement for the facility’s large cooling towers
Fan and motor swaps for improved performance and reliability
Pump and motor extraction for maintenance operations
To execute these tasks safely and efficiently, we’ve deployed two cranes tailored to the specific lift requirements:
A 275-ton crane to handle the heavy cooling tower beams, fans, and motors
A 160-ton crane for pump and motor removal in tighter workspaces
We’ve been working at this site since 2023, providing consistent and reliable crane support. With well-maintained equipment, experienced crews, and a focus on safety, Mountain continues to be a dependable partner for complex lift operations in the energy sector.
