Petrochemical “Once on site, Mammoet positioned the vessel under their lift system” 8 9 “ This required permits from a number of authorities” Action Texas City Mammoet USA successfully completed the transport and lift of a 300 ton fractionator vessel for a refinery in Texas City. Due to the large diameter of the vessel, the normal route through the Port of Texas City could not be used. An alternative route was found using the Texas City Dike; a eight kilometers long roadway extending out into Galveston Bay constructed in the 1930s to protect the area from flooding during a hurricane. This required permits from a number of authorities and coordination with the utility companies to raise power and telephone cables along the route. The vessel (45.72 meters long x diameter of 8.53 meters; 286 ton) was transported by barge and SPMTs from the manufacturer in Channelview to the site some 64 kilometers away. Once on site, Mammoet positioned the vessel under their lift system consisting of two 55 meters heavy towers with a single 900-ton jack at the top. The vessel was safely lifted and set onto its temporary foundation. This was the first heavy transport across the Texas City Dike and it may be the last for some time due to extensive damage caused by Hurricane Ike in September 2008.

Offloading, Transporting and Positioning “Mammoet used a different route this time” LOCATION: JUBAIL, SAUDI ARABIA JOB: TRANSPORTING AND INSTALLING EVAPORATORS CHALLENGE: COMPLEXITY Mammoet was awarded four main contracts, heavy lifting, onsite heavy haul, general crane and module transport along with several sub-contracts for the expansion of the Scotford Upgrader Expansion 1 project at Fort Saskatchewan. This project will double the refinery’s upgrading capacity. Mammoet’s work included offloading, transporting and positioning ten 500 ton reactor sections so that they could be welded in pairs. We used a 750-ton J&R Lift’N’Lock unit, jack and slide equipment and 24 lines of SPMTs for this. Mammoet also built a new strand jack tower gantry to erect the completed 1,000 ton reactors. These towers are based on the same design used in Houston so that all Mammoet towers in North America are interchangeable. Mammoet used the RK-8500 to erect the tower system and to tail the reactors. This project reached its peak towards the end of 2008. At peak times Mammoet had over fifty cranes and some 90 of their employees on site, as well as SPMTs, Scheuerle trailers, etc. Reactors for a French Refinery Mammoet France was contracted by an oil company to offload two 308 ton reactors, transport them to the refinery and install them. Mammoet had worked at this refinery before but because of the congested site and to avoid the need to prepare roads Mammoet used a different route this time. This meant crossing a relatively weak railway bridge where Mammoet installed a temporally overbridge. Mammoet then installed the two reactors in one day with a brand new CC 2800 and a CC 2400 as the tailing crane. Desalination Plant One of Mammoet’s clients is building a desalination plant at Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The plant will include fourteen evaporators, weighing 1,520 tons each, which are fabricated in Sharjah, UAE. Mammoet’s scope of work includes: engineering and execution of load-out, design and fabrication of intermediate supports, design and fabrication of all grillage and sea fastening works, supply of marine spread, towage from UAE to Jubail, load-in, transport to site by SPMT and installation onto foundation. Despite challenges related to the weather and site restrictions the work was progressing well. The duration of the project was one year and Mammoet used 68 axle lines of SPMTs, four power pack units and a range of auxiliary equipment.
