Priceless experience<br />

When asked how <strong>Mammoet</strong> com -<br />

pared with other companies, Hayden<br />

re sponded: “There are many differen ces<br />

I’ve noticed working at <strong>Mammoet</strong> as<br />

opposed to other companies but there<br />

are two that stick out the most. First of<br />

all is the “family feel” that the company<br />

has. Everyone’s door is always open<br />

and you can communicate thoughts<br />

and ideas without any hesitation. The<br />

second is that the company recognizes<br />

the importance of our engineering<br />

group getting time in the field to see<br />

our projects take place. The experience<br />

ment and seeing the operators and supervisors<br />

carrying out the work is priceless.” He<br />

always considers the installation of the first<br />

modules as the most exciting part of the job,<br />

and this project was no different. “The first<br />

module hoisted in the A&V unit was 36 meters<br />

long, weighed 100 tons and required a<br />

12-point pick lift configuration. The rigging<br />

weight alone was close to 20 tons and the<br />

CC 2800 set the module with ease at a<br />

44 meter radius. Also, the SRC unit had<br />

numerous items that required extra attention.<br />

The 260 ton, 90 meter long tail gas stack was<br />

one of the most impressive lifts on the entire<br />

site. The setting of the 175 ton waste heat<br />

boiler and reaction furnace were also notable<br />

lifts that benefited greatly from thorough<br />

planning and great crews.”<br />

Projects like these always make a real<br />

demand on engineers’ creativity and skills.<br />

Hayden: “One of the biggest challenges faced<br />

with these mega projects is the ever changing<br />

environment within and around the unit<br />

battery limits. With progress comes congestion<br />

and keeping on top of the modifications to<br />

the plot plan and skyline to ensure we remain<br />

versatile, becomes more and more important<br />

each day. A steady communication with the<br />

client as well as frequent tours and checks<br />

with supervisors and operators in the field<br />

are the best way to confirm we do not get<br />

ourselves backed into any corners.” Jonathan<br />

Hayden is very happy with the progress of the<br />

project to date: “We all take great pride in the<br />

work we do and there is a lot of personal<br />

satisfaction in seeing the successful completion<br />

of each part of the project. The work<br />

we have done so far on this Upgrader<br />

Expansion Project has been excellent.<br />

<strong>Mammoet</strong>’s safety record reflects the<br />

tremendous efforts that have been put in by<br />

everyone involved and I am very proud to be<br />

a part of it.”<br />
