With its massive 96 meter power boom rising high into the sky, the LR13000 was strategically placed to lift and install two reactors from one position inside a Gulf Coast polypropylene plant.

Heavy lifting experience

With Mammoet’s extensive experience in the petrochemical industry, we are ideally positioned to help refinery and chemical plant operators control costs. Whether it is the construction of a new plant, installation of new equipment, a turnaround or shutdown, plant expansion or relocation, we work in close collaboration with our customers so that all heavy lifting and transport required for the project is carried out as efficiently as possible.

Planning expertise

Involving Mammoet from the earliest stages of a refinery or chemical plant project means that engineered heavy lifting and transport requirements can be integrated from the planning and design phase. The critical path can be determined, and Mammoet’s expertise brought to bear on the overall logistics to ensure that all issues of access, transportation and installation are efficiently scheduled — and that contingencies are considered and mitigated against.

Global capacity

Our experienced teams have carried out major petrochemical construction projects around the world, and Mammoet has lifting equipment capable of addressing a broad range of requirements. Across all markets our safety focus meets, and even exceeds, local regulations. We have a network of shipping contacts around the world, alongside strong relationships with port and transport authorities to help ensure all the necessary paperwork is arranged.

Optimizing productivity

Whether you want to plan every lift of a shutdown before the first bolt is turned, identify the benefits of modularization by analyzing the complete logistical chain for your project, or evaluate your plant design to optimize the construction schedule, our early involvement will greatly contribute to your project’s success. This is because engineered heavy lifting and transport, although not usually the biggest expense, can have a disproportionally large influence on the efficiency of a project. By keeping your project on track, Mammoet will help ensure the plant goes into productivity on time. In the case of turnarounds, shutdowns or relocations, our contribution can be crucial in minimizing downtime and lowering costs.

Safety and efficiency

Alongside our ability to optimize your project at the planning and design phase, we can reliably, swiftly and safely execute the operation. Our professionals combine a focus on getting the job done with a stringent approach to safety. The can-do attitude of our global team of professionals, our engineering expertise and our state-of-the art equipment always deliver a safe and high-quality execution – meeting, and even beating, deadlines for clients around the world. After all, in the highly competitive environment of refineries and chemical plants, time is the currency that matters most.
