Technical advances in offshore installation and float over capabilities have made the fabrication of complete topsides, weighing in excess of 60,000t possible. With budget, location and oceanography constraints, alternative methods of offshore installation from the typical heavy lift vessel are often called upon. ALE’s experience coupled with our innovative R&D division means that we are at the forefront of designing and performing alternative offshore installations such as high deck mating and eco mast installation.
Our ballasting systems are unique due to the modulations feature that can satisfy the biggest projects. With an External Rapid Ballast (EBS) capacity over 72,000 Cu M/Hr, we have completed some of the most challenging offshore float over Installations in the World; the EBS is used to transfer the weight onto installation structures. The computerized system allows full operation from a single control room, including flow and distribution, operation of HPU’s, ballast and de-ballast pumps, barge level systems and ballast monitoring.
