The scope included the mob and demob of a gantry lifting system and SPMT to transport the reel to the quay edge. There were no issues with the operation and the works area was effectively modified with barriers and sub-contractors well managed.

Shepherd Offshore Comments:
“In the build-up to this loadout, pre-berthage assessments were necessary to determine where the heavy reel (weighing 390T) could be positioned prior to vessel arrival with structural stability and optimal position for loadout. SOS and the client (TUL) collaboration was vital to confirm ground bearing values for quayside load spreading at our Offshore Technology Park facility.
In order for the reel to be positioned on our quay edge, numerous calculations were made to find a solution so the reel weight could be equally proportioned and distributed to stop any damage occurring to our concrete HLP (heavy Load Platform). The solution in which the reel could be situated on our HLP was to position steel load spreading mats to distribute the weight evenly. This weight was over the capacity of our Shoreside Hammerhead crane which required methodical thinking to position the heavy reel on the quay and to allocate a vessel that had the capacity to lift such a weight onboard safely. A solution was decided using a Gantry lock and lift system via Mammoet to load the reel onto SPMT, the SPMT then transported the reel to the HLP. Throughout this entire operation, SOS provided many capabilities including but not limited to Mobile Crane Support, Labour Support and Plant Hire over dayshift and weekend, working to progress this operation to completion. Working hard, the team successfully supported our client on each stage of the project and fulfilled the scope of work. Job well done to all involved for this complex loadout.”
