Offshore Lifeboat Davit Replacement

As an example of Zenith's unique capability, we have successfully completed a recent project that clearly demonstrates our commitment to providing safe, innovative and cost-effective solutions to the most problematic of issues.

 

Zenith was contacted by a major client, who operates several offshore platforms in the North Sea, to change out the top vertical section (max 2.5Te lifts) on three of their lifeboat stations and to install new lifeboats. The project presented two key problems:

Firstly, the offshore platform crane could not reach the area where the lifeboat stations were located and secondly, the access to and around the stations proved extremely tight for manoeuvrability of necessary plant, equipment and the newly fabricated vertical sections.

 

The client considered using temporary mobile cranes, additional lifting points and how to utilize scaffolding to allow the crane suitable access, however, this solution would prove onerous due to the load bearing on the platform. An alternative solution had to be found.

Utilising all of our in-house capabilities, Zenith proposed a unique solution to the client, which was duly considered and accepted. The project was safely and successfully completed in record time to the delight of the client.
