LIFTING FEATURE
CASE STUDIES FROM TYNE AND WEAR MARINE LTD
TWM can boast extensive experience across a diverse range of contracts when it comes to lifting operations.
In choosing some examples to share with readers the following will give an indication of the expertise the company has when it comes to this topic area of lifting on both land and water situations. The often one-off and unique lifts demanding solutions through lifting and other methods really demand creative approaches and ‘thinking outside of the box’, something that TWM knows they do very well for their clients.
CASE STUDY 1 DEMOBILISATION AND MOBILISATION OF A CABLE LAYING BARGE USING A 130 TONNE CRANE
This project required a crane for lifting an A Frame, an operation which could not take place because the suspended quayside area was unsuitable. TWM designed and manufactured a bridge so that the 130 tonne crane could be driven onto the barge enabling its maximum lift.
CASE STUDY 2 LIFTING A VESSEL USING A BALLASTED PONTOON AS A DRY DOCK
The James Leithart, a 30 mtr vessel, required refurbishment for a private client. The boat had not been moved from its position on the Tyne for 25 years. Waiting for the tide to be at its highest to assist in the move, a pontoon was flooded with water enabling it to be ballasted down.
The vessel was then manoeuvred over the sunken pontoon where the ballast was blown expelling the air, enabling the pontoon to become a floating drydock.
They then lifted the 70 tonne vessel which was transported initially to a site for shot blasting, then to its current position in Tyne Dock basin for major refurbishment work to be carried out, which is still underway.
CASE STUDY 3 LOWERING AND LIFTING A 220 TONNE DOCK GATE AT OFFSHORE TECHNOLOGY PARK – WALLSEND
The tenth project of this nature over the past 5 years leading TWM to consider itself a specialist in this area of lifting and lowering dock gates.
The latest being a project currently underway at the above location to enable the removal and towage of a roll-on roll-off pontoon using a truck mounted winch to lower and lift the gate.
LIFTING EQUIPMENT
Often TWM has to hire in lifting equipment to cope with the large range of different projects, however the company has two cranes – a 25 tonne all-terrain crane and a 32 tonne road crane and a number of different sized flexibly assembled modular pontoons.
This gives them the added benefit of not having to rely upon outside companies for the majority of their day to day lifting needs and also offer this equipment out for hire.
