Cranes and Lifting’s Post

12 Liebherrs construct Dutch pipeline Dutch crane operator Boer used 12 Liebherr mobile cranes, with lifting capacities ranging from 90 to 400 tonnes, to build a 1km pipeline in Delft, the Netherlands, for its client Nederlandse Gasunie. The mobile cranes lifted the pipeline to bring it into the correct position for insertion into the ground. The pipeline is part of the district heating network, which is currently being expanded to convert heating systems to sustainable energy sources. Richard Rijbroek is an environmental manager at Denys and supervised the construction of the pipeline in Delft. He said, “Preparations for the WarmtelinQ project have been underway for three years. We will use the residual heat from industry in the port of Rotterdam and from waste incineration plants to heat homes and businesses in South Holland.” The pipeline runs from the port of Rotterdam to The Hague via Vlaardingen. A drill head was installed on one side of the 1,000 metre long district heating pipeline. Harm van Dijk, project manager at Boer, said, “We are drilling a bore here for the heating network. The pipeline is drilled into the ground.” The pipeline had to be lifted up and placed in a certain curve so that it was drilled into the ground at a defined angle. “To get the exact curvature, we form the arch with ten cranes,” added Harm van Dijk. “Each of these cranes lifts 18 tonnes. For this reason, we need machines with a capacity of 90 – 140 tonnes here. On the other side of the motorway, we used a 300 tonne and a 400 tonne crane because of the large overhang.” The pipeline could not be completely pre-assembled on the ground, as a motorway and a bridge cross the route. It was therefore stored on containers at a sufficient height as required.

DEME’s jack-up vessel Innovation and Boskalis' heavy lift vessel Bokalift 2 are mobilizing to their respective projects. Boskalis - Bokalift 2 It's that time of the year again when foundation installation kicks off in the US, where Ørsted’s Revolution Wind project is about to begin foundation installation. This task has been assigned to Bokalift 2 for some time now, and the vessel has just started its transit over the Atlantic. The vessel is expected to commence work in May this year. For the past year, monopiles have been shipped to Canada from Europe, where they have been temporarily stored (at least some of them). It's not believed that Bokalift 2 will pick up the monopiles in Canada itself; rather, the vessel will be supplied with these monopiles. This execution is similar to what we saw at South Fork. DEME - Innvoation DEME’s jack-up vessel Innovation did not have much downtime before it was assigned to a new project in France, and this time Innovation will be tasked with monopile installation for the Ocean Winds project Iles d´Yeu et de Noirmoutier. In France, it's never just lifting and piling; there will also be some drilling due to the seabed conditions. However, this is nothing new for Innovation, which has experience with these tasks.

We have recently submitted a non-conforming Expression of Interest to Rio Tinto via their EPCM Worley to supply ground modules and integrated idlers for Brockman South 1 (BS1 project) through the Industry Capability Network gateway. With the science on conveyor losses due to idler roller diameter now established and publicly available, and specialist conveyor simulation companies able to conclusively model the benefits, we lay down the challenge to Rio Tinto as a WA top 10 GHG emitter, and their appointed EPCM, to back up the ESG rhetoric with action, and not progress this project with a Business-as-Usual approach. We also applaud Rio Tinto and the WA State Government for their efforts and funding in establishing another startup accelerator (link below). However, with an experienced feedback entrepreneur as a founder who has worked within their project development teams for nearly 20 years, to stand the business up Simon Trott, what we'd prefer is an Early Contractor Involvement engagement which would facilitate us to really drive the WA based supply chain's innovation. #findingbetterways #decarbonisation #commercialisation #valleyofdeath https://lnkd.in/gw4ietnT

💨𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭 Allseas is proud to announce the safe removal of Shell UK’s 31,000-tonne Brent Charlie platform topsides from the UK sector of the North Sea. Executed on 9 July, the 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞-𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐥 of Brent Charlie by Allseas’ heavy lift vessel Pioneering Spirit, represents the 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 performed, and concludes years of engineering and planning. ♻️The former production facility will be delivered to Able UK’s Seaton Port facility in Hartlepool, northeast England for disposal, where more than 97% of the materials will be recycled. 𝐀 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 Removal of the fourth and final Brent platform is a significant milestone in a remarkable project spanning more than a decade. On all four occasions, Shell UK has opted for Allseas' 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲-𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 single lift, motion-compensated technology. Edward Heerema, Allseas Chairman, says “It started in 2013, with Shell’s decision to award Allseas the contract for the engineering, preparation and removal of its four Brent platforms. The trust shown then in Allseas’ technical expertise served as a milestone in the 20-year development of Pioneering Spirit. At the time, the vessel was still under construction, but Shell’s belief in Allseas gave us the opportunity to showcase our single-lift technology.” 𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 The Brent decommissioning project is unique in its scale and complexity, comprising four platforms – three concrete-based and one steel jacket. Allseas has played a key role, performing the engineering, preparation and removal of all four platforms. In executing Allseas’ scope, Pioneering Spirit has removed and transported close to 100,000 tonnes of topsides weight to Hartlepool for disposal at Able UK Seaton Port facility. To date, 98% of all materials from Delta (2017), Bravo (2019), and Alpha (2020) topsides have been recycled. 👌Thanks to everyone involved in this 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭! 🌎Learn more about our projects: www.allseas.com/projects 👉For career opportunities, check www.allseas.com/careers #allseas #daretopioneer #offshoretechnology

🌟🌟🌟 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙨 "𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨" 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝘽𝙊𝙈𝘾 𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙚❓ Since that day, "𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨" has been sold at a bargain in the PLSV🚢 market for more than five [5️⃣] years. She is still on the 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐞 marine yard. In the past, we have posted a few times on "𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨" covering the pipelay market, which is always in high demand. In the Asia Pacific region alone, a few new pipelay vessels are waiting to capture any 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐩𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭, especially the highly capable ZPMC UK LTD #JSD6000🚢 S- and J-lay vessel and Shanghai Salvage Bureau COES Caledonia (UK) Limited #Shenda🚢 (深达号) Flex—and 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐥-𝐋𝐚𝐲 𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥. Can the "𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨" leverage its unique features to fill the gap of laying smaller OD pipes up to 14in? With its distinct capabilities, this fast #ReelLay vessel can offer a competitive price over the expensive flexible flowline package. Furthermore, the Reel-Lay market has experienced significant growth in the past few years. This presents a promising opportunity for the 'Express' vessel to utilize its presence in 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐞 and the nearby new spool bases, such as the latest Bintan Offshore Marine Centre (BOMC), to capture any 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐥-𝐋𝐚𝐲 job within the region. However, surprisingly, she was spotted in the 𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐂 yard. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 in the 𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐂 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞? This spoolbase has been busy since it contracted and partnered with Subsea 7 and started fabricating the biggest Woodside Energy Julimar 18in the export line. The spoolbase has recently completed Woodside Scarborough and will soon begin or already started the fabrication for the upcoming Santos Ltd Barossa field. Considering the potential benefits, the cost of refurbishing the "𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨" vessel is relatively small compared to the backlog pipeline market with the 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭. It is more cost-effective than investing in a new Reel-Lay vessel or an expensive flexible flowline system. #Pipelay #LewekExpress #Express #ReelLay #InfieldFlowline #ExportLine #PipelineInstallation #InstallationEngineering #PipelineProduction #deepLayEnergy #ReliableEngineering #OnDemandEngineering #Knowledge2Share #TechnicalAdvice

Houlder presents methanol bunkering vessel design for SPINE maritime project Design and engineering consultancy Houlder has unveiled the design of a 10,000 cbm methanol bunkering vessel as part of the SPINE maritime project. According to Houlder, the methanol bunkering vessel design includes semi-automated crane systems for supplying methanol to other ships of a wide size range, including cruise and large container vessels. In addressing the challenges around space during the vessel design process, Houlder claimed it navigated complex constraints to optimize the vessel’s layout for maximum efficiency and compliance, adding: “The use of methanol as both cargo and fuel presented unique spatial considerations, given its lower density compared to conventional fuels, the different regulatory requirements concerning storage and use as cargo or fuel, and associated handling spaces. Houlder’s design team explored allocated space within the hull to balance these requirements within a vessel that is of comparable size to existing small tankers, while adhering to strict safety regulations.” https://bit.ly/4ekHNHF #methanol #efuel #energy #energytransition #futurefuel #cleanfuel #alternativefuel #marine #maritime
