Record for Mammoet Dubai
Turnaround at Leuna
After two years of planning, the refinery in Leuna was shut
down in May 2008 for a turnaround and expansion, involving
3,300 people working on the site. Mammoet Germany provided
no fewer than 70 cranes, from its own fleet, another
German crane company and from Mammoet in the
Netherlands. Mammoet Germany managed this project using
the dedicated Mammoet Shutdown Concept. This involved a

CHALLENGE: SCALE OF THE PROJECT
“The project went
smoothly thanks
to the thorough
preparation and
good cooperation”
Mammoet Dubai transported its heaviest item
ever, a 1,605 ton xylene column with a length
of almost 100 meters. It was transported four
kilometers from Sohar Port to an Aromatics Plant
in Sohar Industrial Area in the Sultanate of Oman.
The contract covered a total of 43 items which
were transported by SPMTs. Because of the size
of the loads, traffic signs and lampposts had to
be removed along the route. Later Mammoet
has re-positioned the xylene column under the
gantry for final installation. The whole project was
completed successfully and safely.
great deal of coordination with the site operator and the
contractors working on the site. Mammoet was on site for
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.
