Aluminium in Modular Structures for Offshore Lifts

Article Preview

Abstract:

Offshore lifts can be performed by platform cranes, crane vessels, helicopters or modular structures. The challenge of an offshore lift lies in performing it in inaccessible locations on the platform and minimizing the cost and the offshore time. Platform cranes often cannot reach the lifting object, and crane vessels and helicopters provide solutions which increase the operation costs. On the contrary, aluminium modular structures provide solutions which can make a challenging lift efficient and successful without incurring high costs.
