World
Mammoet was awarded the contract for the transportation and the installation of two
HDS Reactors at a refinery in Lithuania. Both reactors, with a length of 32 meters and a
weight of 515 tons, had to be transported over a route of 155 kilometers from the port
of Klaipeda to the site.

Introduction
“Discover it
and make
it your world!”
This is the type of work
Mammoet performs in Fort
McMurray (Canada) everyday!
This is a 282 H Liebherr mining
truck, weighing 177 tons, which
was hauled from Aurora to Syncrude
Base Mine. A Kenworth hauled it
with a 19-line Euro-style Scheuerle
trailer. It was transported to the site
traveling only at 30 km per hour.

Mammoet is doing well. That is clearly illustrated in this eighth edition of Mammoet
World. But the world around us is experiencing major and rapid changes. As we
are writing this the stock markets are in the red and economic forecasts are
continuously being adjusted downwards. There is a worldwide economic
crisis which will undoubtedly also affect Mammoet in the end. However, as
explained in this issue of Mammoet World there may also be positive aspects.
Our management team explain why Mammoet has all confidence in the future
and expects our business to do well even in these turbulent times.
“Putting people and safety first” is one of
the corporate values which Mammoet
defined in the past year, and which guides
all our actions. Koos van Tol, Mammoet’s
new Corporate Safety Director, explains
how he wants to give our safety, health,
environment & quality (SHE-Q) policy a
further boost.
In recent years, Mammoet has expanded
significantly, both through acquisitions and
by entering new markets. Mammoet
Salvage, already one of the world’s leading
salvage companies after only three years
in the business, is an excellent example.
Our Salvage Director Fokko Ringersma
explains why both our competitors and our
clients were surprised by Mammoet’s new
A different world
approach to salvage, and what Mammoet
offers as an alternative to the traditional
way of thinking of the salvage industry.
Working at Mammoet means working in a
divers world. Whether you are a crane driver,
a rigging operator, or an engineer, for
instance, we can offer you an environment
where only your talents set the limits to
your development. We communicate that in
our recruitment campaigns with the slogan
“Make it your world!” Mammoet also
presents engineers with challenges they are
unlikely to find elsewhere. Jonathan Hayden
of Mammoet Canada Western explains
what makes his job as engineering
technologist so fascinating and why he is
proud to be working for our company.
And as always, this issue of
Mammoet World includes a selection
of our most challenging and
spectacular projects. The range of
jobs we have completed in the
petrochemical, power generation,
offshore, civil engineering and
marine sectors give a good impression
of the unlimited possibilities,
innovative solutions and attractive
concepts offered by Mammoet.
You may also have noticed that we
have redesigned Mammoet World.
We hope that you will enjoy the new
design and more convenient size
and be inspired by the projects
described here.

Hotel Babylon in The Hague is
being extensively refurbished and
extended with a steel structure.
Mammoet used their mobile cranes
to assemble the steel structure on
site. As the site was in the city
centre the logistics were quite a
challenge but the cooperation with
Mammoet Road Cargo ensured that
everything went smoothly.
Mammoet then installed the 36 by
27 meter steel structure, weighing
500 tons onto the existing building
with their new LR 1600 (the first one
fitted with superlift) and a CC 2800.
The load was initially lifted up one
meter and balanced, and then lifted
up to 36 meters, which only took
about an hour. Both cranes had to
crawl and the CC 2800 had to
slew to position the structure over
the building. Immediately after
finishing the lift Mammoet started
demobilizing the cranes as the road
had to be cleared for a public holiday.

The Board
“Our rental business
and small jobs -
providing a small

2008 was going to be a bridging year and be
a springboard for the following period. It
certainly was that, and more. Roderik
van Seumeren explains: “It has been a
good year, in all respects. It has fulfilled our
expectations in terms of growth, financial
performance and getting jobs for 2009 and
2010. We have made four acquisitions and
these businesses have been integrated into
Mammoet to everyone’s satisfaction. Our
new ventures are also proving to be fruitful.
Mammoet Shipping, our in-house logistics
services provider has managed to produce
significant cost reductions by optimizing
logistics planning. Mammoet Salvage has
been successful from the day it started
and has become a world-leading salvage
company within three years. And our safety
statistics are steady, although we now

Strong, versatile and alert
Mammoet is in a strong position, but treads carefully in these uncertain times.
Our management team - Roderik van Seumeren (President and CEO), Patrick
van Seumeren (Vice-President and COO), Jan van Seumeren Jr. (CTO) and Siem
Kranenburg (CFO) - closely follow the developments in the market to respond
appropriately to the threats and opportunities we will undoubtedly be faced
with. “There is uncertainty all around us. It’s a different world than any of us
have ever dealt with.
business. All these parameters prove that we
are on the right track.”
Large and small
Patrick van Seumeren emphasizes that it’s
not just the large projects which make
Mammoet successful. “Our strength is
that our activities are spread over different
markets, continents and types of equipment.
That makes us less vulnerable. If
there is a downturn somewhere, we can
shift our work to markets and areas where
there is enough work. This versatility and
flexibility make Mammoet more agile than
local operators, and in these uncertain times
also less dependent on economic developments.
And that has paid off again this year.
“One of the great things is that apart from
the truly large projects we also do a huge
number of small jobs which keep us busy
and provide a steady revenue flow. Our
rental business and small jobs - providing
a small crane, or doing a two-hour job -
are also core business. All this provides our
company with solid foundations. We are
therefore very pleased that we have managed
to remind our clients that Mammoet also
does smaller jobs.
Excellent position
In three year’s time, Mammoet’s revenues
have doubled and we are expecting to grow
further in the next few years. However, it is
difficult to look ahead due to the financial
and economic crisis in the world. Mammoet
will obviously also be affected, but at a
much later stage. Despite the uncertain
development of the crisis, Siem Kranenburg
is confident about the future. “We are not
directly affected by the credit crisis because
we arranged a refinancing package for the
whole company some time ago. This gives us
the opportunity to expand without needing to
go to the capital markets. And should we
need additional funding for acquisitions then
our shareholder structure can accommodate
that. We also have an impressive order book.
At the end of this year we will start on some
particularly large projects which will take us
well into 2010. Hence, as far as the financial
aspects are concerned we are fairly confident
about 2009 and even 2010 as we have
already provided the basis for that. Our
effective internal management in recent years
also puts us in a strong position.
Expansion and replacement/
adjustments
In part, this strong position is due to
our careful investment policy, including
the purchase of equipment. In recent
years we have carefully balanced the
different segments of our business.
“After earlier investments in the top of
the range, this year we have invested
more in the middle and lower ranges”
explained Jan van Seumeren Jr. “That
was mostly to expand our fleet: we
have purchased a large number of
smaller hydraulic cranes, crawler
cranes up to 600 tons and transport
equipment in the middle range, and
SPMTs at the top end. We have also
developed cutting winches for
Mammoet Salvage and the “Amsterdam”
sheerlegs of our subsidiary BTS
was completely overhauled. We will
continue investing in the coming year.
However, given the uncertainty and
threatening over supply on the market,
Mammoet has decided to cut the
planned investments by half. Even so,
we will be making considerable investments.
We are planning to purchase
SPMTs, a LR 11350, crawler cranes for
South Africa, a barge for South East
Asia and an LTM 11200 and other large
plant for the UK. Mammoet will also
start work on building a new top-end
crane, the PTC DS30. This heavyweight,
with a load moment of 120,000
ton-meters and 3,200 tons capacity will
be equip ped with winches and bogies
on a 30 meter ring to offer superior lifting
and slewing performance.
Opportunities
Mammoet is in a strong position, and
ready to respond to the threats and
opportunities in a market which may
weaken. But Patrick van Seumeren is
convinced that even such a market will
present opportunities. “This is the right
time for acquisitions. Given the limited
options for funding and spreading risks,
high investments and rising costs of
entry associated with getting involved
with projects, times will be tough for
smaller operators. And that presents us
with opportunities. We are still interested
in taking over relevant businesses as
that is a good way of bringing in not
only equipment and trained personnel,
but also a market share.”
Siem Kranenburg can also see the
bright side: “Crises tend to regulate the
markets. Sometimes, expansion is too
fast, without any rationale. So, a crises
can have positive aspects and reduce
the number of operators somewhat. It’s
certainly an interesting period for us.”

“We are confidently
looking towards
the future”
Roderik van Seumeren
“Positioned
for the future”
When I look at the results in 2008 and our order book, which is fuller than ever,
I see plenty to be satisfied about. Mammoet is doing well, and we already
know that next year will be equal. But looking outside the company, at all the
disruption in the world, I dare not make any predictions about the future.
Only once the storm which has hit the financial markets and the real economy
has subsided will the impact on Mammoet be clearer. These mixed feelings
are typical for the situation now, at the end of 2008, as we present Mammoet
World to you.
2008 was our best year ever, and 2009
promises to be even better. Of course, I
would love to consider only our successes,
but realistically speaking we have to look
further ahead. And that is exactly what we
are doing. In 2006 we defined our long-term
strategy in a strategic plan with an ambitious
scenario for growth and clear targets. Now,
almost three years later, we are exactly
where we were planning to be. Increases in
revenue, personnel, investments - all are
going to plan. In these three years we have
doubled our revenues and further developed
our worldwide network and leading role as
specialists in heavy lifting and transport. And
despite the storm which began a little over a
year ago, we have brought in the orders, so
our order book for 2009 is already getting
quite full and we are also receiving orders for
projects in 2010. Given all the turmoil around
us, those are the best and most important
feats of 2008. As I wrote last year, we have
done well in recent years. And again we
have been able to benefit from that. Hence
we are in the comfortable position that we
can expect next year to the best ever.
However, right now shortly before 2009, it is
difficult to look much further ahead. Nobody
knows how much longer the worldwide
crisis will last, what its impact will be, and
what parts of the world or sectors of the
economy will be hit hardest. Nothing is
certain, except that Mammoet will eventually
also be affected, at the and of the chain.
Even so, we are confidently looking towards
the future. After all, turbulent times like this
bring not just threats but also opportunities.
Furthermore, in recent years we have
strengthened our base and spread the risks
much wider. Mammoet operates throughout
the world and therefore also in areas which
are less affected by the crisis and where
developments are promising. Mammoet
serves a number of markets, and that
includes markets which are less affected by
economic fluctuations. We also span a range
of activities, from crane rental, heavy transport
and lifting, to large projects. In recent
years we have made major investments in
our people and our equipment, in quality,
training, refining our procedures and processes,
and in our worldwide management
information system. Finally, we have
strengthened our foundations by acquiring
renowned companies and our shareholder
structure makes us less
dependent on the banks. All these
elements mean that we are in an
good position to weather the storm.
I would therefore like to conclude
by saying how impressed I am by
what we have managed to accomplish
as a company, in 2008 and the
years before. I am proud of what
our people have done this year,
often working under difficult conditions.
I am glad to say that despite
the rapid growth in recent years we
have not made any concessions to
our professional standards. The
ingenious solutions which our
engineers develop never cease to
impress me. Last, but not least, I
would like to thank our clients for
their trust in Mammoet. And we will
do everything to continue to
deserve that trust, as illustrated by
the impressive jobs described in
this issue of Mammoet World, the
eighth edition. Although we may
experience some turbulence in
future, our innovations and operational
qualities will guide us safely
through the rough waters.

“ Develop
a special
load case”
Brand New in India
An Indian client contracted Mammoet
to undertake 37 heavy lifts at the Jamnagar
Export Refinery. Mammoet shipped their
MSG-80, PTC I and the brand new LR 11350
to India for this project.
Mammoet first used the LR 11350 to lift
two reactors (each 740 tons) into place,
and then two smaller vessels. The work
was affected by the monsoons, especially
when moving the crane as the roads were
weakened by the rain.
It took two weeks to rig the PTC with a 87
meter double stacked main boom, 39.4
meter jib and crawler system. Its first job
was to handle a reactor (1,000 tons).
Mammoet had to develop a special load
case as the reactor was almost 100 tons
heavier than expected. Fortunately the
weather improved and it became much
easier to move the PTC to the next
location, with lifts ranking from 400 to
1,000 tons. The MSG was also kept busy
and lifted a number of vessels, with
weights up to 1,400 tons and lengths up to
98 meters. The C3 splitter was the heaviest
and longest lift, and also the most difficult
one as Mammoet was operating close to
minimum radius and had only 0.5 meters
clearance between the jib and spreader
bar. After that Mammoet reassembled the
MSG at another location to lift a column
(1,000 tons) and a reactor (1,200 tons).

Transporting and Lifting Eleven Columns
First Expansion Albian Sands
Mammoet’s client is expanding its Albian
Sands upstream facility which processes oil
sand. The main purpose of the facility is the
processing of mined oil sand into a pipeline
transportable liquid which is then fed to the
Scotford facility near Edmonton, Alberta for
refinement. Mammoet started working on
this project in August 2007. The scope of
the work includes transporting and erecting
some 310 oversized loads ranging from
tanks and pipe modules right up to 450 ton
vessels. Mammoet has a range of cranes,
trailers and other equipment on site to
cover all the client’s needs. The highlight so
far was transporting the TSRU columns
with a diameter of eleven meters which,
with all the equipment, had a total combined
weight of 726 tons. This region of
Canada is a true cultural melting pot with
people of all nationalities and skills working
together. Working on a project which has
so many variables is a daily challenge.
Throw into the mix the impending -47˚C
Fort McMurray winter and you have a job
which is never the same two days in a row.
Over a period of 18 months, Mammoet has
been busy transporting and lifting eleven
large columns. Mammoet used a number
of cranes (PTC I, CC 4800, two units
CC 1800, CC 2400-1, LR 1350) and SPMTs.
It was also the first job in Singapore for the
1600-ton PTC ring crane which was fitted
with a 87 meter main boom and 39.4 meter
jib to erect a propylene fractionator column
which stood 106 meters tall.
After the PTC had been rigged we used 72
lines of SPMTs to move it to the first job
site. Because of heavy rain the ground on
the site was very soft. To avoid taking any
risks, Mammoet first tested the road
by driving SPMTs loaded with superlift
counterweights across it. That was
just as well, as it turned out that the
ground needed more preparation.
Mammoet discovered that the
columns were actually rather heavier
than specified. In most cases this
was not a problem as the equipment
had plenty of spare capacity.
However, the heaviest column had
to be stripped of some metalwork
before we could safely lift it.

Action Texas City
Mammoet USA successfully completed the
transport and lift of a 300 ton fractionator
vessel for a refinery in Texas City. Due to
the large diameter of the vessel, the
normal route through the Port of Texas
City could not be used. An alternative
route was found using the Texas City Dike;
a eight kilometers long roadway extending
out into Galveston Bay constructed in
the 1930s to protect the area from
flooding during a hurricane. This required
permits from a number of authorities
and coordination with the utility companies
to raise power and telephone cables along
the route.
The vessel (45.72 meters long x diameter
of 8.53 meters; 286 ton) was transported by
barge and SPMTs from the manufacturer in
Channelview to the site some 64 kilometers
away. Once on site, Mammoet positioned
the vessel under their lift system consisting
of two 55 meters heavy towers with a single
900-ton jack at the top. The vessel was
safely lifted and set onto its temporary
foundation.
This was the first heavy transport across the
Texas City Dike and it may be the last for
some time due to extensive damage caused
by Hurricane Ike in September 2008.

LOCATION: JUBAIL, SAUDI ARABIA
JOB: TRANSPORTING AND
INSTALLING EVAPORATORS
CHALLENGE: COMPLEXITY
Mammoet was awarded four main contracts, heavy lifting,
onsite heavy haul, general crane and module transport
along with several sub-contracts for the expansion of
the Scotford Upgrader Expansion 1 project at Fort
Saskatchewan. This project will double the refinery’s
upgrading capacity. Mammoet’s work included offloading,
transporting and positioning ten 500 ton reactor sections
so that they could be welded in pairs. We used a 750-ton
J&R Lift’N’Lock unit, jack and slide equipment and 24
lines of SPMTs for this. Mammoet also built a new strand
jack tower gantry to erect the completed 1,000 ton reactors.
These towers are based on the same design used in
Houston so that all Mammoet towers in North America are
interchangeable. Mammoet used the RK-8500 to erect the
tower system and to tail the reactors. This project reached
its peak towards the end of 2008. At peak times Mammoet
had over fifty cranes and some 90 of their employees on
site, as well as SPMTs, Scheuerle trailers, etc.
Reactors for a French Refinery
Mammoet France was contracted by an oil company to offload two 308 ton reactors, transport
them to the refinery and install them. Mammoet had worked at this refinery before but because
of the congested site and to avoid the need to prepare roads Mammoet used a different route
this time. This meant crossing a relatively weak railway bridge where Mammoet installed a
temporally overbridge. Mammoet then installed the two reactors in one day with a brand new
CC 2800 and a CC 2400 as the tailing crane.
Desalination Plant
One of Mammoet’s clients is building a desalination plant at
Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The plant will include fourteen evaporators,
weighing 1,520 tons each, which are fabricated in Sharjah, UAE.
Mammoet’s scope of work includes: engineering and execution
of load-out, design and fabrication of intermediate supports,
design and fabrication of all grillage and sea fastening works,
supply of marine spread, towage from UAE to Jubail, load-in,
transport to site by SPMT and installation onto foundation.
Despite challenges related to the weather and site restrictions
the work was progressing well. The duration of the project was
one year and Mammoet used 68 axle lines of SPMTs, four power
pack units and a range of auxiliary equipment.

Blessed by Monks
Mammoet was contracted to transport a
165 ton autoclave from Sattahip in
Thailand to the Sepon mine in Lao PDR.
This took a full year of preparation as
Mammoet had to check 200 concrete
bridges on the route. Mammoet concluded
that fifteen of the bridges were not strong
enough. Hence Mammoet designed steel
decks to span across the bridges, from
pier to pier, so that the bridge itself did not
have to carry any of the load. Mammoet
fitted these decks with wheels to make
them easier to handle and minimize the
disruption to traffic.
In Thailand Mammoet could use a 4.9
meter wide trailer which meant we did not
have to reinforce the bridges. However,
once Mammoet had reached Lao PDR
they had to cross some narrower Bailey
bridges so Mammoet reconfigured the
trailer to three meters width. A highlight of
this job was the blessing of the convoy by
monks, in Savannakhet.
Everything went well and a month after
Mammoet started they delivered the autoclave
to the mine. Mammoet then lifted it
onto its foundations with the CC 1100
crawler crane with superlift.
A Tight Fit
The mission was to bring a 500 ton reactor (48 meters) into the refinery using both
SPMTs and skidtrack for portions of the journey. Once inside the lift area, a 70 meters
tall tower system consisting of “Troll beams” and a 900-ton strand jack was used to both
erect the reactor and carry it over a live pipe rack and set it on its pedestal.
A CC 2800 was built partially under a pipe rack. Overall, 28 sections of twelve meters
tower were required to build the lift system, along with both “Troll beams” and two
“Oconee beams”. The lift system was required to be capable of withstanding 201 km/h
winds as the system was being assembled in the midst of hurricane season.
Once assembled, the reactor was brought into the unit beneath a pipe rack on a skid
system. The reactor was placed back atop two sets of double-10 lines of SPMTs with
turntables to position it inside the unit. There was barely enough room for both the
CC 2800 and 48 meters long reactor to coexist within the unit, but the Mammoet crew
skillfully manoeuvered the two to their final staging locations without incident. The reactor
was staging on jack stands and trailers were removed from the unit to allow all of the
platforms and piping to be attached to the reactor prior to the lift.

Rain and Wind in Qatar
Anyone who thinks it is always sunny in
the Middle East obviously hasn’t been to
Qatar in winter. In January Mammoet
had to transport the first four of a total of
24 HPS reactors, each weighing 1,200 tons
from the port to the construction site.
Mammoet provided two sets of trailers so
it would only take two trips to transport
the reactors.
Unfortunately, heavy rain had affected the
ground conditions by the time Mammoet
arrived at the site and had to make alternative
arrangements to set the load down.
Mammoet then returned to the port to collect
the other two reactors and fortunately
the weather had improved by that time.
Mammoet was also contracted to install
the reactors. As there was not enough
space near the reactor foundations to
build the PTC, Mammoet assembled it
elsewhere on site and then moved it into
place with SPMTs.
Once everything was in place Mammoet
had to wait for four days because of high
winds, after which everything went very
smoothly. As this was the first heavy lift on
the site, the Mammoet equipment was

several weeks and the project went smoothly thanks to the
thorough preparation and good cooperation between the
German and Dutch crews. The highest lift was the replacement
of a 5.5 ton flare top at a height of 145 meters.
Brazilian Record With
MSG-80 Configuration
Mammoet spent four months on a site in Brazil, with up to fifteen of
their people from branches throughout the world. Mammoet had to
install three towers: two of 60 meters and 250 tons and one of 110
meters and 700 tons.
The real challenge was to install the 110 meter polypropylene tower
after it had been fitted with all the platforms, stairs, risers, pipes,
insulation etc. Mammoet decided to use their MSG-80 II and the
Dracula Tail Frame. Given the needs of the job Mammoet had to rig
it with a 92.6 meter main boom and 42.9 meter jib. As the tower was
resting on six saddles supported by concrete blocks Mammoet first
had jack it up 2.5 meters to remove the saddles and to install the tail
frame on the skirt. Mammoet set the record for the tallest lift by a
single crane in Brazil.

“People have to
stop and think
before they do
something”
Koos van Tol was appointed as Mammoet’s new Corporate Safety Director
in the middle of 2008. He has been with Mammoet for over 30 years and therefore
knows the business inside out. He is particularly familiar with safety,
health, environment and quality (SHE-Q), the area he is now responsible for.
Koos van Tol’s career has ranged from
crane driver to regional manager. He
knows the ins and outs of the heavy lifting
and transport business better than anyone
else. Koos has worked all over the world
and dealt with a range of cultures and
personalities. “I’ve worked with so many
different people within Mammoet. They’re
all different. So, you can’t just pull a string
and expect everyone to do what you want.
You need patience, talk a lot and approach
everyone differently. The challenge is to
find the right way to deal with everyone
and get them to do the job. It’s not
advanced math but simply a matter of
knowing how to deal with people.”
Mammoet Minds
And it’s no different where safety is
concerned. “Safety isn’t magic - it’s about
using common sense. Sure, you can
introduce hundreds of rules, but what it’s
really about is that people have to stop
and think before they do something.” And
that’s the concept behind the safety
campaign initiated in 2008: the Mammoet
Minute, a basic last minute check before
the work starts. “Through this campaign
we want to make everyone aware of the
importance of taking a minute before you
start the job, just to look around and think
about the risks and hazards you might
have to deal with. And, where necessary,
to take action, so you can do the job safely.”
The Mammoet Minute is part of the
Mammoet Minds campaign with the theme
“Keep Thinking! Look Out! We Care!”
which has been rolled out throughout
Mammoet to ensure that the Mammoet
Way of Working is the same everywhere.
Leadership in the field
A special training course for supervisors
started in 2008. “Our supervisors
are working foremen, who do
the job together with their people.
This training aims to im prove
leadership in the field and encourage
our supervisors to do even
more to ensure safety at the job
site, and to improve the safety
awareness of our people.” Six groups
have now started on the first
module of the course, which
includes a total of six modules.
Once the course is fully developed
next year, we will roll it out throughout
the business. We have similar
plans for our Working at Height
course, developed in the UK. “We
are now deciding if we can turn it
into a Mammoet course to add
to the e-learning portal of our
intranet.” Van Tol is also thinking
about developing a General Safety
Awareness Course which, like the
Mammoet Minute, should get people
to think first, and then act.

SHE-Q
“Improving the
translations of the
course material”
“ Key to
improving
safety”
Koos van Tol
Training centers
All the courses on the intranet will be reviewed and updated where necessary. The
regions are also working on improving the translations of the course material. Apart from
courses, Mammoet’s worldwide Training and Development Program also offers training
facilities. “In the longer term, each region should have its own training center. We now
have centers in Schiedam and Malaysia, where we give crane and SPMT courses. By
setting up similar centers elsewhere, our people would have to travel less and it would
expand our options to provide safety and quality training.” To work in a particular job or
area, our people have to complete a number of courses first. These are recorded in the
red book everyone carries with them.
Improving safety awareness and the change in attitude needed to bring this about, are
key to improving safety within Mammoet. Van Tol has plenty of ideas to put this into
practice in the coming year. High on his list is setting up a central database with detailed
information about the causes, follow-up and prevention of incidents, so that everyone
can learn from them. He also wants to introduce a monthly publication for the whole
company with a different region discussing a safety related subject in every issue. “In
that way you learn about other cultures and the relevant issues.” Finally, he mentioned
that Mammoet is considering certification to ISO 14001 (environmental management)
and ISO 18001 (safety). “That’s requested by more and more customers. We also want
to use that to emphasize the importance of safety and environmental management to
our company.”

Power Plant Neurath
Mammoet was awarded a contract to supply
a PTC-DS for the construction of a
power station in Neurath, Germany, with
two blocks of 1,100 MW capacity each.
Because of the height of the structures,
Mammoet had to modify the PTC-DS specially
for this project and test it on site. It
was rigged with a 134.6 meter main boom
and 69.3 meter jib, for a capacity of 1,600
tons and 33,705 ton-meters. The crane
itself weighed 1,500 tons and was fitted
with 1,500 tons of counterweight. The PTC
had an overall height of 207.7 meters.
Bruce “A” Restart Project
Mammoet Canada Eastern was contracted
to provide a ring crane (PTC), smaller
cranes, site transportation and offloading
services for the replacement of sixteen
steam generators in a nuclear power
station. The scale of the project, safety
standards, numerous site contractors and
unpredictable weather conditions meant
that extensive coordination was required.
The heaviest lifts were the steam drums
located directly above the steam generators.
These drums, weighing over 400 tons each.
It took 110 shipping containers to deliver
the PTC to the site.
Mammoet had only planned to move the
PTC once between the two blocks of the
power station. However, a problem which
affected one of the blocks meant that
Mammoet actually had to move the crane
twice. It had a transport weight of 2,080
tons and was moved using 100 lines of
SPMTs.
Definitely a challenging, large-scale
Mammoet job!
The tight clearances within the facility
made it quite exciting to bystanders. The
plant, which is subject to snowstorms and
high winds, required a modified load chart
for the PTC.

this project.
Mammoet provided a number of mobile telescopic
cranes for the civil engineering work.
Mammoet also provided a CC 2800 crawler
crane, assisted by an AC 500 mobile telescopic
crane to assemble the boilers. The 210 ton
boiler modules were transported to the site on
intercombi trailers, after which Mammoet
installed them with cranes.
During the next stage of the project Mammoet
used SPMTs and Intercombi trailers to transport
two generators (345 tons), two gas turbines
(310 tons) and two transformers (275 tons)
from the offloading yard to the site.

Moscow Generators
Mammoet was commissioned to transport two generators
(230 tons each) and a gas turbine enclosure (114 tons) to
Moscow and install them in a power station.
Mammoet Seumersteel transported the plant from the port to
the site using conventional trailers. This required the Moscow
ring road to be closed. Mammoet Europe then installed the
plant. One generator and the gas turbine enclosure were
skidded straight from the trailer onto the foundations. The
second generator was lifted up with a portal and strand jack,
rotated and skidded onto its foundation. The customer made
some changes to the schedule and the Mammoet employees
sometimes had to work under difficult conditions but the job
was completed to everybody’s full satisfaction.
We used our 500 ton gantry jacks to lift and transport
a 300 ton generator at the Sandow power plant in
Texas. The generator was originally faulty and had
to be repaired. When completed, the lift plan
had to be changed entirely to accommodate for
new construction that was completed while the
generator was under repair. A new three bay
gantry tower lift system was designed. The load
beams were made up of the “Troll beams”, gantry
beams and convert mats for an approximate skid
distance of 62 meters.
The system had to be high wind stable and
unfortunately, bracing could not be used do to
the need to skid the generator between tower
legs. The solution was to use moment connections
in the top beams of the towers to achieve
the needed stability both longitudinally and perpendicular
to the lift beams.

completed the complex handling sequence of nine steps per generator well
ahead of schedule despite the challenges presented.
The new Mammoet Containerized Winch System was installed in the containment unit
to lift the old steam generators off their foundation. Unlike previous replacement projects,
the generators were brought out of containment on the second floor, approximately six
meters above ground level utilizing a skid system. After placing the units on SPMTs, they
were moved through the building and lowered onto a separate set of SPMTs at ground
level. Finally, the old units were transported to their storage location. The new generators
were installed by reversing the removal process.

were first received and stored at the Port of Ogdensburg, New York. The turbines were then
transferred onto barges and subsequently delivered to Wolfe Island, a small island located in
the St. Lawrence River between Canada and the West. Due to the high volume and the limited
timeframe, a huge amount of equipment and manpower was required to deliver the turbines,
comprising over 1,000 items of oversize cargo. With the combined equipment fleet of Mammoet
Canada and Mammoet USA, a total of 27 trailer combinations, 8 trucks and 17 cranes were
used. As some of the operation was performed in two shifts, a total of 62 field staff were
brought together from various Mammoet branches.

2008 witnessed an extraordinary amount of heavy haul moves across Alberta. The three
busiest months were from January to March where thirteen heavy vessels were moved
from Edmonton and surrounding areas to various plant site locations in northern Alberta.
A total of 19,000 kilometers were travelled for these loads. A variety of double-wide road
style configurations were used including bunked configurations with 300 and 500 ton
turn tables. The most high profile of the loads was the TSRU column. The gross transport
weight was approximately 752 tons, transported on 2 x double 10-line roadstyle bunked
Scheuerle trailers with Mammoet hi-frame. Over the year 2008, Mammoet transported
approximately 1,000 loads all varying in size and weight utilizing a fleet of Scheuerle
trailers accompanied by our dedicated fleet of prime movers, drivers, trailer operators,
maintenance fleet and ongoing support system.

in the knowledge and skills of the people
themselves, they are forced into contact
with their own qualities and creativity. In
this way, they think of solutions themselves

Alberta on June 16, 2008. The facility consists of 45 acres of land and a building
with a workshop of 4,185 square meters and 2,790 square meters of office
space. The new facility was built to bring together personnel working out of three
separate buildings and to accommodate the increase of equipment and personnel
and requirement of a larger yard. The building was designed by western Canada’s
Managing Director and COO, Herman Smit. His vision for the new building
was to have as much natural light as possible, a comfortable and healthy work
environment and space in the shop and yard for personnel to perform their jobs
efficiently and safely. In support of Mammoet’s position to offer training to all
employees, a room has been designated for internal training courses for
Mammoet’s Training and Development Program. A small fitness area, open

After a year of reconstruction, the complete Waterway Quay of the
Mammoet Heavy Lift Terminal (Schiedam, the Netherlands) is
finally operational. From now on, Mammoet can serve even more
ships and clients as they now have 440 meters length of rail.
This gives the PHB Railcrane (250 tons) a total workable
area of approximately 20,000 square meters alongside the quay
and that fact strengthens the position of the Heavy Lift Terminal in
the Port of Rotterdam. The Heavy Lift Terminal also offers other
services, such as assisting with the assembly of harbor cranes,
converting special vessels, and carrying out lifting and transport
activities for the assembly of platforms. Besides all the activities
mentioned above, the Heavy Lift Terminal has its own Ro-Ro quay
for loading and unloading extremely heavy loads.
All-terrain mobile crane: LTM 11200-9.1
As market leader Mammoet sets trends and records around the world. Mammoet is proud
to present the first LTM 11200-9.1 on the market. The LTM 11200-9.1 is the strongest
telescopic crane and is fitted with a telescopic boom of 100 meters consisting of eight
parts which can be extended fully automatically. In addition, various configurations are
possible by fitting extra boom sections above the hydraulic boom, allowing a
maximum height of 182 meters. The lifting capacity at longer boom lengths can be
increased enormously by using the Y-shaped superlift assembly. A major advantage of
the telescopic boom is that it requires much less rigging space than a conventional boom
formed from separate sections. The crane is also fitted with a sophisticated electronic
steering system available so that it can maneuver in even the tightest spaces. This
all-terrain mobile crane had just been delivered when it went straight to Amsterdam (the
Netherlands) for its first impressive job, fitting a tall extension to a transmission tower.

Nothing is Impossible
Jonathan Hayden confirms that working for Mammoet as an engineer is
a unique experience. He joined Mammoet Canada Western in 2005 as an
engineering technologist. He is currently responsible for the engineered lift
studies for a large petrochemical plant expansion project which involves the
placement of an impressive 180 modules. “I am very proud to be part of it.”
When asked about the most interesting part
of his job, Hayden replied: “For me, the most
exciting part of working for Mammoet is the
idea that nothing is impossible. Our clients
know that we have the ability to provide the
resources to successfully see each challenge
through safely and effectively. Our strong
knowledge base and extensive fleet of equipment
allows us the opportunity to participate
in projects of all kinds, hoisting and transporting
some of the worlds most unique and
challenging loads. Whether it be coke drums,
modules, or reactors in our provinces north,
or wind turbines and tower cranes in the
provinces south, we are fortunate to be
working in a region that is continually growing
and welcomes innovative solutions.”
Importance of interaction
Hayden continued “Being in the engineering
department means that we are involved from
step one and are an integral part of each
project right through to completion. Interaction
among departments is extremely
important to the success of the projects that
Mammoet undertakes. Information and ideas
can come from unexpected places and
approaching our tasks from different angles
can quite often produce our most effective
path forward. Due to the complexity of
the work being done, communication
between our department and our clients is
also essential, as we need to be working with
the most up to date and accurate information
available. By establishing a solid relationship
with our clients, the transfer of information
between both parties becomes seamless,
which then benefits all aspects of the project.”
Enormous volume
Hayden, who graduated in Engineering
Design and Drafting Technology in 1998 and
then worked for seven years for another
company, has spent the last year working at
an huge Upgrader Expansion Project
for a petrochemical plant near Fort
Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada. “As
I am responsible for producing the
engineered lift studies for the Sulfur
Recovery and Atmospheric and
Vacuum Distillation units being constructed
by our client, the biggest
challenge has been simply keeping up
with the shear volume of lifts being
completed. There are approximately
180 modules between these two units,
along with a number of dressed
vessels, exchangers, and stacks. We
have two CC 2800s and a LR 1400/2
assigned to our areas that have
been utilized for the majority of the
engineered lifts, with the additional
requirement for an RK 8500, as well
as various mid-sized crawlers for tailing
operations. I was fortunate to have
been brought on board for this project
at an early stage and was able to
analyze a number of the lifts in detail
well in advance of their arrival to site.
Doing so I was able to definitively
specify our rigging requirements and
crane configurations in a way that
would allow for the best utilization
throughout the project. My goal from
24 25 Visit Mammoet’s

day one has been to save the client
time and money by eliminating as
many of the surprises early on, without
compromising the safety of the work
being done.”
Priceless experience
When asked how Mammoet com -
pared with other companies, Hayden
re sponded: “There are many differen ces
I’ve noticed working at Mammoet as
opposed to other companies but there
are two that stick out the most. First of
all is the “family feel” that the company
has. Everyone’s door is always open
and you can communicate thoughts
and ideas without any hesitation. The
second is that the company recognizes
the importance of our engineering
group getting time in the field to see
our projects take place. The experience
gained by standing next to the equip-
“ I am very proud

Jonathan Hayden
ment and seeing the operators and supervisors
carrying out the work is priceless.” He
always considers the installation of the first
modules as the most exciting part of the job,
and this project was no different. “The first
module hoisted in the A&V unit was 36 meters
long, weighed 100 tons and required a
12-point pick lift configuration. The rigging
weight alone was close to 20 tons and the
CC 2800 set the module with ease at a
44 meter radius. Also, the SRC unit had
numerous items that required extra attention.
The 260 ton, 90 meter long tail gas stack was
one of the most impressive lifts on the entire
site. The setting of the 175 ton waste heat
boiler and reaction furnace were also notable
lifts that benefited greatly from thorough
planning and great crews.”
Projects like these always make a real
demand on engineers’ creativity and skills.
Hayden: “One of the biggest challenges faced
with these mega projects is the ever changing
environment within and around the unit
battery limits. With progress comes congestion
and keeping on top of the modifications to
the plot plan and skyline to ensure we remain
versatile, becomes more and more important
each day. A steady communication with the
client as well as frequent tours and checks
with supervisors and operators in the field
are the best way to confirm we do not get
ourselves backed into any corners.” Jonathan
Hayden is very happy with the progress of the
project to date: “We all take great pride in the
work we do and there is a lot of personal
satisfaction in seeing the successful completion
of each part of the project. The work
we have done so far on this Upgrader
Expansion Project has been excellent.
Mammoet’s safety record reflects the
tremendous efforts that have been put in by
everyone involved and I am very proud to be
a part of it.”

Busy year in Asia with jack
This year the 2,400 ton jack-up system and
strand jack system were particularly busy in
Asia. Within five months, Mammoet undertook
three major jack-ups with weights of up
to 14,000 tons and lifts up to 23 meters.
The three projects were:
1. Angel CPP Deck
(8,000 tons, 23 meters, Malaysia)
2. Jurong Semi-Sub 1088
(10,000 tons, 19 meters, Singapore)
3. SuTuVang CPP Deck
(14,000 tons, 10 meters, Batam)
The jack-up crew was barely able take a
break in between the projects. Mamoet
transported the jack-up units between the
yards on a barge and without disassembling
them, to speed up the mobilization. This
method actually saved us 20 days for mobilization/demobilization
and Mammoet could
carry out maintenance on the units while
they were in transit. There was only a three
week gap between two of the jack-up operations,
and the yards were across an ocean,
yet Mammoet managed to complete both on
schedule. The final load out was completed
in August.
All three projects went extremely smoothly.
The successful completion of these projects
was the result of excellent cooperation
between the clients, the project team, the
operations/logistics team and the regional
offices.

was to bring the deck to the quayside and
place it on top of a 22.5 meter high load-out
frame. As the deck was not suitable for lift ing
by cranes we had to skid it and jack it up.

west. This was where there flexibility of our
skidding and jack-up system really paid
off. Mammoet also provided cranes and

Even so, they could only move the
module at half the normal speed.
Return to Caspian Sea
“ It was a real
challenge to
control the
movement of the
5,200 ton module”
After the cold winter, Mammoet returned to the Caspian Sea. As the equipment
Mammoet had left on site had been specially treated for winter storage, Mammoet first
had to prepare it for use.
The first lift was of a module with a weight of 3,480 tons. Moving the module between
the piles (which we had installed before winter), connecting it to the strand jacks and
raising it up took thirteen hours. This was the fifth of a series of fourteen modules which
Mammoet will be installing.
Mammoet used their special containerized strand jacks for this project. Each unit
consists of two containers, one with two strand jacks and the power pack, and one
with drums for the wire rope. These containers are placed on the piles and then pull the
modules up and hold them in position while they are welded to the piles.

“The rig was set

using mobile
cranes”
Removal of a Refuelling Crane
Mammoet’s client had to remove their
huge dockside refuelling crane. This 1,450
ton, 125 meter long steel structure was
built in the 1970s to handle fuel for nuclear
submarines and will be replaced by a gantry
system. The client assumed that the crane
would have to be demolished on site
which would mean extensive working at
height and closing the offices underneath
the crane.
However, a UK/Dutch Mammoet team proposed
removing the crane in one piece,
lowering it onto a barge and transporting it
to a demolition yard. The 2,000 tons of
equipment Mammoet needed included the
“Kursk gantry beams” (now extended to
almost 40 meters) skid shoes, MSG towers,
strand jacks and four mobile cranes. The
skid shoes would slide over the beams
suspended from the towers using the
strand jacks.
The rig was set up in six weeks using
mobile cranes on the congested site.
Helped by perfect weather, Mammoet
jacked the 1,450-ton crane up and skidded
it across the Kursk beams. Using strand
jacks (4x 600-ton and 2x 900-ton)
Mammoet then lowered the crane 40
meters onto the barge. The whole operation
took less than 20 hours.
After removing one of the gantry
towers the barge was transferred to
a quay. Mammoet skidded the
crane onto the quay and the crane
was finally at the position where it
will be demolished.
This was a challenging but satisfying
project which offered a much better
option to the customer.

Dubai Metro Project
LOCATION: SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, USA
JOB: TRANSPORTING TWELVE BRIDGES
CHALLENGE: WORKING IN THE
MOUNTAINS
As traffic is very busy in Dubai, United
Arab Emirates, the Roads and Transport
Authority decided to build a metro rail
system. This is one of the authority’s
largest investments and will be the longest
fully automated system of its kind in the
world.
The project includes two lines, with a total
length of 68.9 kilometers and 44 stations
and is being built by JTMJV (Japan Turkey
Metro Joint Venture). A tunnel boring
machine (TBM) was required as some of
the stations will be built underground.
Mammoet was contracted to lift the TBM
which weighs approximately 870 tons.
Due to limited space on the site, the client
decided to lift the TBM in parts and
assemble it underground. Mammoet used
a CC 2400-1 (400-ton capacity crawler
crane) to handle the TBM units. The heaviest
unit weighed 160 tons and was installed
approximately 25 meters below ground.
On the other hand Mammoet was also
contracted to transport thousands of precast
concrete segments for the same
project, namely the pier cap segments
(maximum weight 75 tons) and the viaduct
deck segments (maximum weight 91 tons).
Mammoet utilized many trailers for this
operation in order to meet the demands
of the client and to attain the required
transport per day. Trailers used are lowbed
trailers and hydraulic platform trailers.
Bridge Projects in Salt Lake City
In the summer of 2008 Mammoet USA
undertook three bridge projects in Salt
Lake City, Utah.
The first project was to transport seven
bridges by SPMTs from the “bridge farm”
where they were built to their installation
sites. The weights ranged from 450 to
1,350 tons. Once delivered to the site,
each bridge was placed on skid shoes and
skidded across steel beams and support
beams onto towers with climbing jacks to
lower them five meters. All the equipment
was then moved to the next site.
The next project was in the mountains
where four bridges had to be replaced
over two weekends. Due to site and time
constraints the client choose to demolish
two of the bridges and Mammoet would
remove the other two and install the four
new bridges.
The last project was to transport an 800
ton bridge over a distance of over two
kilometers on SPMTs and install it on its
abutment. Here the Mammoet team had to
engineer a solution to deal with the grade
changes which exceeded the stroke of the
transporters. To overcome that, four swivels
of the 600 ton Mammoet skid system
were installed on top of the red beams. This
set- up then served as foundation for
the two beams that supported the bridge.

Port of Quebec,Canada. Mammoet lifted the unit, transported it to the edge of the dock,
and rolled it onto a barge using 48 lines of SPMTs.
Once loaded, the shiploader was transported along the St. Lawrence River to
Sorel-Tracy, a distance of 180 kilometers. At QIT, the shiploader was offloaded, starboard
side. As the heavy shiploader could not be transferred onto the quay due to weight
restrictions, a platform measuring 35 meters wide was placed over the quay to provide
the necessary weight distribution.

A1 Junction Upgrade Peterborough to Blyth
Mammoet installed a composite bridge
deck (650 tons) as part of the A1 Junction
upgrade project. This was the second
bridge of four that Mammoet has been
contracted to install. Mammoet first jacked
the bridge up from a relatively low build
position to the installation height in a laydown
area adjacent to the permanent
position for the bridge. Once at the correct
height, the SPMTs with packing supports
lifted the bridge free from the jacking
towers. The period available for installation
started at nine pm on Saturday and
finished at twelve noon on Sunday. The
bridge was installed onto the abutments at
twelve midnight. Mammoet completed its

The construction work is under real time
pressure, especially as the country will be
hosting the Confederation Cup in 2009.
Mammoet Southern Africa is currently
busy placing 4,215 precast concrete
elements, including 1,560 seating units, in
the new Green Point Stadium in Cape
Town, in a joint venture with a local civil
engineering contractor. The work started
in December 2007 should be completed in
December 2008. The work on the lowest
tier was done with a crawler crane
provided by the joint venture partner.
The seating units in the middle tier were
work ahead of schedule which allowed
the road to be re-opened earlier than
planned.
In order to get permission for the closure
of the A1, Mammoet had to reduce the
requested closure time of 36 hours to 18
hours. Consequently, many Mammoet
employees had to work double shifts.
Despite a few last minute changes by the
local authorities, Mammoet still managed
to complete the work ahead of schedule.
This was a particularly difficult operation
due to the significant elevation changes
along the transport route and the hydraulic
stroke required for set down.

also provided supervision and two rigging
crews. The large number of units to be
placed and the presence of many tower
cranes on the site make this quite a
challenging job. Mammoet Southern Africa
was also contracted by the roofing
contractor to lift compression ring
segments with a mass of up to 23 tons
at a radius of up to 84 meters. This
was done with the LR 1400/2 fitted with
a 56 meter main boom, 63 meter luffing

Replacing a Railway Bridge Near Paris
In August the French railway operator shut a
railway line down for 82 hours to replace a
bridge across the RN1 road at Pierrefitte near
Paris. Mammoet started by removing the old
bridge (400 tons, 29 meters) and taking it to
a storage site. After that we installed two
precast abutments (370 and 430 tons). Finally
we installed the new precast bridge (780 tons,
37 meters). We used two sets of 22 lines
of SPMTs and paid special attention to
synchronizing them. To handle the abutments
we combined the SPMTs with a gantry
system fitted with four 300-ton strand jacks.
This was the first time Mammoet had used
Civil
this rig and it did a great job on the
narrow site and within the short time
available. The customer had not used
this construction method before but
was impressed and will use it for
future projects.

Helping protect
the environment
Environmental projects are a growing
market as the general public has
become increasingly aware of the
vulnerability of the marine environment
and that it deserves protection.
In 2008, Mammoet Salvage entered
into contracts for two recovery
operations where the protection of
the environment was the key issue.
The first one was for the removal of
oil and other pollutants from the
Spinningdale, a fishing vessel which
ran aground near St. Kilda. The
second contract was for the recovery
of wreckage from the Robson Bight
Ecological Reserve in Canada.
These objects, including a truckload
of gasoil, were lost in water with a
depth of 350 meters. Mammoet
Salvage and its partner Global Diving
and Salvage of Seattle were awarded
the contract after a tender by the
government of British Columbia in
Canada. Mammoet Salvage has also
been awarded the contract in the
event of salvage of the submarine
U-864 by the Norwegian Coastal
Administration (NCA). This German
time bomb from the World War II
carries 70 tons of mercury and has
been lying at a depth of 150 meters
in Norwegian waters for over half
a century.

“ We’re here
to stay”
In the middle of 2008, rather than at the end of the year as originally planned,
Mammoet’s management decided to continue the salvage activities. In
essence, this meant that Managing Director Fokko Ringersma and his team
successfully completed Mammoet Salvage’s most difficult challenge: to set
up a leading salvage company in three years, starting from scratch. And they
have certainly been successful.
At a time when the future of some large
salvage companies appears to be uncertain,
Mammoet has made a clear commitment
to continuing its salvage activities. And
Fokko Ringersma underlined that they are
going full steam ahead: “In the first few
years Mammoet Salvage mostly focused
on removing wrecks (wet salvage) but in
future we also want to enter the emergency
response market where every second
counts.” By expanding the activities into
dry salvage, Mammoet Salvage will be
able to serve its clients with a full range of
salvage and recovery services. “We will
continue to stand out with our innovative
approach, which combines sophisticated
engineering solutions and effective cooperation
with clients and suppliers. We mostly
work in partnership with our clients, rather
than the base of tenders and ‘hit & run’
projects. Where possible, we like to spend
more time to develop the best solution
with the client, in technical and commercial
terms. Our clients are pleasantly surprised
by this new approach to salvage operations,
which breaks with the established customs
in the industry.”
A major operator
Mammoet Salvage has quickly developed
into a major operator, one of the world’s
five largest salvage companies. In wreck
removals we are even at the top. Since the
start of the company we have completed
almost fifty projects, a number of which
received worldwide attention due to the
revolutionary technical solutions we
provided. Ringersma continued: “We are
particularly interested in the largest and
most complex jobs. That’s where our
dedicated and specialist engineers can
really make a difference. We also benefit
from the synergy with other parts of the
Mammoet group. We can rent and hire out
equipment within the group, which means
that we operate at lower costs. The United
Experience, the availability of heavy lifting
equipment, our worldwide network and the
reputation Mammoet gained in the
salvage business with the recovery
of the Kursk are also invaluable.”
Major investments
Mammoet Salvage is now busy
expanding the business. “Because
we have completed so many
projects already we have been able
to purchase equipment earlier
than originally planned and our
position in the market is now even
stronger than we expected. We are
making significant investments in
lifting equipment and developing
customized plant such as our Deep
Water Recovery System, chain
pullers and the large winches we
are currently building for a major
project.” commented Ringersma,
who also has a large store of
salvage equipment available in
Schiedam. Even so, Mammoet
Salvage has made a clear decision

not to become a shipowner, apart
from one dumb hopper which is
currently being built. “We have
decided to enter into partnerships
with tugboat operators in the UK,
Italy, China, Korea, Mexico and
other countries. Their tugs,
combined with our expertise and
specialist equipment provide a
full range of salvage services. Our
partners also provide local expertise
and contacts, which makes us even
more effective. For this reason we
have also set up our own offices in
Singapore and representation in
London and Houston - all strategic
locations in areas where we are
par ticularly busy. We are also planning
to expand our diving activities
in the next few years to get a full
diving team to further optimize our
range of services.”
“Mammoet Salvage
to provide a wide
range of salvage
activities”
Fokko Ringersma
Plenty of challenges
Ringersma considers the prospects to be
excellent. There is still plenty of work in
wet salvage. The seas are full of old
wrecks, and recovery is increasingly
required for environmental reasons, while
technology keeps shifting the boundaries
of what is possible. Mammoet Salvage is
already looking at further challenges, such
as removing oil from wrecks in deep water,
recovering submarines and tackling the
problems associated with container ships,
which are still getting larger. These are
markets where the Smart Solutions and
commercial approach taken by Mammoet
Salvage are likely to do well. “Mammoet
Salvage has clearly demonstrated its competences.
We have built up a clear and
strong position in the market. So, the conclusion
can only be: we’re here to stay!”

By entering into partnerships with clients and suppliers, Mammoet Salvage has

contract Mammoet Salvage concluded in May 2008 for the removal of the wreck
of the California. This bulk carrier with a length of 242 meters was laden with
iron and iron ore and sank in the middle of the busy Straits of Malacca after a
collision in March 2006. Since the accident, Mammoet Salvage has had a guard
vessel positioned over the wreck to warn other ships on this route when they
approach it. Working closely with the insurance company, Mammoet Salvage
has developed a plan which meets the technical, commercial and political needs
of all the stakeholders. Our engineers have made essential contributions to this
plan. Given that we have only been in business for a short time, it was a real
accomplishment for Mammoet Salvage to be awarded the contract for one of
the bigger wreck removal operations in the salvage industry.”

Yachts on the Move
Mammoet and BTS moved a yacht from a

SPMTs to move it from the building
where it was constructed onto the BTS
“Krammer” pontoon. The ballasting system
was used to keep the pontoon steady. BTS
then transported the yacht to another yard
where it was floated free of the pontoon at
high tide.
For another project BTS “Krammer” pontoon
collected a yacht from a dry dock, transported
it to another yard and then used
the SPMTs to move it into the building
where the yacht was fitted out.
BTS has done several jobs like this for the

Teamwork
Mammoet Deutschland was commissioned
to install a pipe bridge across the harbor
entrance at HKM in Duisburg. The bridge
weighed 290 tons and had a length of 120
meters and a height and width of 5.5
meters.
The bridge was assembled on the quay
and then lifted up by BTS sheerleg the
“Amsterdam” and cranebarge the “Ibis”,
turned around and placed on its supports.
This was quite a challenge as the clearance
to existing plant on site was quite small
and as BTS’ equipment had little space to
work in. However, the preparations paid
off and the work went exactly as planned.
LOCATION: DUISBURG, GERMANY
JOB: INSTALLING A PIPE BRIDGE
CHALLENGE: RESTRICTED SPACE
BTS installed a new bridge across the
lock at Terneuzen. This lock connects
the inland waterways to the sea. At the
building yard the bridge (approx. 61 by
18 meters, 472 tons) was loaded onto the
BTS “Krammer” barge by two sheerlegs.
The bridge was then transported to
Terneuzen where it was installed by
the “Amsterdam” and “Ajax” sheerlegs.
The installation required some careful
manoeuvering by the crew as the lock
chamber was quite narrow and provided
little width for the sheerlegs to operate in.
Impressive Lock Doors
BTS was commissioned to replace two vertically moving doors and two ship
impact resisting structures of the Bernhardsluis navigation lock at Tiel. The
scope included transporting the components from the fabricator’s yard to the
site and installing them. The 235 ton lock doors were quite impressive, with a
length of 25 meters, a height of 17 meters and a thickness of 3 meters.
The impact structures had the same dimensions and weighed 150 tons each.
Installing the outer lock door was a fairly straightforward job for the BTS
sheerlegs “Amsterdam” as there was enough space to operate in. However,
to install the inner door the “Amsterdam’ had to work from within the lock
chamber as there were road and rail bridges on the other side of the lock.
BTS completed all the work according to schedule and the customer was very
satisfied.
