R Mammoet KSA offshore proiject.


Mammoet engineers created a detailed load-in plan, which included a bespoke 50m ramp, designed to accommodate the elevation difference whilst bearing a total load of over 1,500t (including the weight of SPMTs). The result was a pathway for 18 lines of SPMT to roll onto the barge, lift the basket and roll off onto the jetty. The


spooling operation was then performed with the basket being rotated by the SPMTs, whilst typical spooling auxiliary equipment was used to manage the cable between the basket and the installation carousel. With time of the essence, the Mammoet team worked in day and night shifts as the SPMTs were rotated during transpooling.


“Thanks to our strong regional


presence, we were able to bring in the right equipment and SPMT operators experienced in handling such large components to work in two shifts – allowing us to complete the transpooling operation in less than 48 hours, ready for transportation offshore,” adds Khan. This then allowed load out to happen


sooner, moving the empty cable basket by SPMTs back onto the barge via the ramp. In total, load in, transpooling and load out was undertaken in far fewer days than the original timeframe given. “We understand that time is money for


offshore projects such as this. Thanks to the combination of a thorough marine engineering plan, drawing on a range of discipline experts, and the availability of the right equipment and professionals when needed, we were able to ensure safe, efficient completion whilst saving significant time for the client,” he concluded ●
