Le Havre - Mammoet executed the transport and erection of a 280 tonne distillation tower for Esso S.A.F./Foster Wheeler in France. The tower was offloaded by a heavy lift vessel at Port Jerome and temporarily stored just on the quayside.

Fort McMurray - Syncrude is Canada’s largest single source of crude oil and the world’s largest producer of crude oil from oil sands. To do this, Syncrude mines oil sand from a sur- face mine. The raw oil, or bitumen, is extracted from the sand with steam and hot water. Then, it is upgraded to crude oil by fluid coking, hydroprocessing, hydrotreating and reblending.

It’s a boat… it’s a house… it’s a silo… it’s Mammoet!!!

Schiedam - Recently our employees of the Mammoet Office in Schiedam saw something different pass by than just the familiar seagulls. A yacht weighing 160 tonnes and measuring 35 metres in length out of the water into a barge with two AC 650’s.

The yacht, which had been built by the Croatian shipyard “Heli Yachts”, sailed to the Netherlands to partici- pate in a boat show. The boat show was, however, in Düsseldorf (Germany), and as the sailing masts were too high, the yacht could not reach that destination along the inland waterways.

There they were off-loaded and placed onto foundations.

Cranage at various levels

Heerma bridge

Amsterdam - Mammoet executed some eye catching lifting operations for a double bridge construction that connects the isle of Zeeburg with the new suburban area IJburg. The bridge is called Enneus Heerma bridge, after the late christian democrate politician, alderman and Secretary of State, who did much to the benefit of Amsterdam. The bridge is the most important traffic link to the A10 highway.

The architecture of the bridge is However, the place is inaccessible fascinating and shows a styled for floating cranes due to insufficient S-shape.

It called for two operation sequences. In each one, a bow was assembled from three parts.

The outer bows come to 160 tonnes but the middle bow has a weight of 240 tonnes. Framework between the bows delivered extra strength. A complicating factor was that the lifting position was in the water.

Highest point for World Port Center

Rotterdam - On Saturday 9 September 2000, Mammoet lifted a light pole onto the roof of the World Port Center, under construction at the “Kop van Zuid” in Rotterdam.

The operations were executed by one of the largest mobile cranes in The Netherlands, a Demag AC 650 with a main boom of more than 150 metres. The light pole fits in a design by Lord Norman Foster.

First class bridge travel

Ladbergen - Mammoet was involved in a spectacular transport operation in Ladbergen, Germany. The objective was to position a 900 tonne bridge over the Dortmund/Ems canal.

Stord/Egersund - Major heavy lift operations were executed last year for the construction of an oil production platform in Norway. At Aker Stord various jacking-, site moves- and load-out operations were executed in various stages.

The 3,850 tonne module was lifted to a height of 3.4 metres with twelve jacks and then loaded out onto two barges. A drilling module was jacked to a height of 0.6 metres on a barge before loading in. This module was put down on the quay on twelve pre- installed jacks and raised 2.8 metres. By then, the 4,750 tonne module was loaded out onto the two barges, matching the already placed utility module.

Submarines on wheels

Rotterdam - One of the most media attractive loadouts of 2000 was the relocation of the submarines Zwaardvis (Swordfish) and Tijgerhaai (Tiger shark) on the premises of RDM at Rotterdam.

Upon arrival, the first 1,600 tonnes submarine was lowered into the water and towed to the dock ship Smit Explorer. The operation was closely monitored by RDM personnel, marking probably the last time they would ever see ‘their’ ship again.

Bremen - At the Bremen Vulkan shipyard a complete 2,000 tonne overhead crane was lowered with an engineered gin pole version.

The MSG lifting device had been assembled up to a height of 104 metres. Four free-standing towers of containerised mast components, capable of lifting 4,200 tonnes, supported two lifting beams on top of four MSG strand jacks as to lower the massive crane in one smooth movement.
