Petrochemical LOCATION: GUJARAT, INDIA. JOB: RANGE OF HEAVY LIFTS CHALLENGE: SCALE, WEATHER 6 7 “ Develop a special load case” Brand New in India An Indian client contracted Mammoet to undertake 37 heavy lifts at the Jamnagar Export Refinery. Mammoet shipped their MSG-80, PTC I and the brand new LR 11350 to India for this project. Mammoet first used the LR 11350 to lift two reactors (each 740 tons) into place, and then two smaller vessels. The work was affected by the monsoons, especially when moving the crane as the roads were weakened by the rain. It took two weeks to rig the PTC with a 87 meter double stacked main boom, 39.4 meter jib and crawler system. Its first job was to handle a reactor (1,000 tons). Mammoet had to develop a special load case as the reactor was almost 100 tons heavier than expected. Fortunately the weather improved and it became much easier to move the PTC to the next location, with lifts ranking from 400 to 1,000 tons. The MSG was also kept busy and lifted a number of vessels, with weights up to 1,400 tons and lengths up to 98 meters. The C3 splitter was the heaviest and longest lift, and also the most difficult one as Mammoet was operating close to minimum radius and had only 0.5 meters clearance between the jib and spreader bar. After that Mammoet reassembled the MSG at another location to lift a column (1,000 tons) and a reactor (1,200 tons).
LOCATION: SINGAPORE JOB: INSTALLING COLUMNS AT A PETROCHEMICAL PLANT CHALLENGE: SCALE OF THE PROJECT “The first job in Singapore for the 1600-ton PTC ring crane” “A true cultural melting pot with people of all nationalities and skills working together” LOCATION: FORT MCMURRAY, ALBERTA, CANADA JOB: HEAVY LIFTS AND TRANSPORT CHALLENGE: TEMPERATURES DOWN TO -47˚C Petrochemical Transporting and Lifting Eleven Columns First Expansion Albian Sands Mammoet’s client is expanding its Albian Sands upstream facility which processes oil sand. The main purpose of the facility is the processing of mined oil sand into a pipeline transportable liquid which is then fed to the Scotford facility near Edmonton, Alberta for refinement. Mammoet started working on this project in August 2007. The scope of the work includes transporting and erecting some 310 oversized loads ranging from tanks and pipe modules right up to 450 ton vessels. Mammoet has a range of cranes, trailers and other equipment on site to cover all the client’s needs. The highlight so far was transporting the TSRU columns with a diameter of eleven meters which, with all the equipment, had a total combined weight of 726 tons. This region of Canada is a true cultural melting pot with people of all nationalities and skills working together. Working on a project which has so many variables is a daily challenge. Throw into the mix the impending -47˚C Fort McMurray winter and you have a job which is never the same two days in a row. Over a period of 18 months, Mammoet has been busy transporting and lifting eleven large columns. Mammoet used a number of cranes (PTC I, CC 4800, two units CC 1800, CC 2400-1, LR 1350) and SPMTs. It was also the first job in Singapore for the 1600-ton PTC ring crane which was fitted with a 87 meter main boom and 39.4 meter jib to erect a propylene fractionator column which stood 106 meters tall. After the PTC had been rigged we used 72 lines of SPMTs to move it to the first job site. Because of heavy rain the ground on the site was very soft. To avoid taking any risks, Mammoet first tested the road by driving SPMTs loaded with superlift counterweights across it. That was just as well, as it turned out that the ground needed more preparation. Mammoet discovered that the columns were actually rather heavier than specified. In most cases this was not a problem as the equipment had plenty of spare capacity. However, the heaviest column had to be stripped of some metalwork before we could safely lift it.
