Mammoet has completed the lift of a 1,210t machinery component for a petrochemical plant in Malaysia.
The Dutch company was contracted by Nippon Express to lift the DEEP AGR absorber at the petrochemical plant being constructed in Sarawak by Malaysian firm Petronas.
The top section of the 55m-long absorber was lifted using a gantry system, with the other end driven into position with an auxiliary crane.
The lift was completed in five hours, two weeks ahead of schedule. Meeting the deadline was essential, said Mammoet, as Petronas/JGC set a 33-month timeframe for the complete construction of the plant.
