Zenith Completes Another FPSO Flare Tip Replacement Project

5 Sep 2017

Zenith has successfully completed another FPSO flare tip replacement in offshore West Africa. The entire project was safely completed within a four day period.

The design, supply and installation of the temporary lifting davit was carried out completely in-house. The advantages in choosing this option are:

Proven safe method.
Cost savings when compared with expensive helicopters & barge cranes.
Gantry steelwork incorporates details for secondary method of flare tip lowering in the event the main hoist fails.
Full gantry test build undertaken in our yard to check fitting and constructability.
Gantry test – Experienced installation crew selected. Same crew used to carry out gantry test build undertaken in our yard to check fitting and constructability.
Brackets for installation access support built into the gantry steelwork for quick and safe installation.
