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 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 to be a part of it” 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.” job vacancy site www.makeityourworld.com One of our Red Men “ Without compromising the safety of the work being done”
