MAMMOETRUNS
Team Mammoet Runs finished in Roparun 2008 in 61 st place out of a total of 253 teams. The total distance of 533.7 kilometers, from Paris to Rotterdam, was completed in 43 hours, 7 minutes and 11
seconds! The Mammoet Runs team, took part not only to fulfill the personal and team ambitions, but also to make a valuable contribution to the Roparun Foundation: 36,500 euros! Mammoet Runs would
like to thank everyone who supported the run.
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
