ALE completes Philippines load-out
18 September 2014
Heavy-lift services specialist ALE has completed the load-out of 111 modules in the Philippines.
The project was based at the fabrication yard in Bauan Batangas and involved modules weighing from 31t-1,925t, alongside the transportation of numerous vessels and equipment.
During the operation, the delivery of a vessel was delayed and ALE proposed a method for skidding the vessel to avoid impacting the schedule of module assembly. The 135t vessel was skidded at 5m height using a push and pull system, hydraulic jacks and hijack frame.
The final load-out was completed on August 26, with two modules weighing 1,925t and 966t being loaded out using Nicolas SPMT 104 axles with five PPUs.
