Marine “The environmental impact of spillages and other incidents is minimized” 38 39 Yachts on the Move Mammoet and BTS moved a yacht from a shipyard in Flushing. Mammoet used 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 shipyard so we can assume that they are happy with the service provided by Mammoet and BTS, and our attention to detail and safety.

������ ���������� “Required some careful maneuvering” Creating Connection 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.
