HOUSTON, May 13, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- McDermott has safely and successfully executed
its heaviest stacking lift at its Jebel Ali fabrication yard in
Dubai. This
record-breaking achievement marked the latest milestone on the
BorWin6 980MW high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) project for
TenneT.
The stacking of deck level one had a total weight of 1,962
metric tonnes (MT) and was conducted in a tandem lift operation
involving six cranes. This complex operation was executed by
McDermott's lifting fabrication team, alongside construction
support engineering, and its health, safety and
environmental team. The lift was performed securely and ahead
of schedule.
"Jebel Ali is unrivalled in its ability to deliver complex
offshore structures," said Rob
Shaul, McDermott's Senior Vice President, Low Carbon
Solutions. "We are well positioned to continue driving execution
excellence throughout the remainder of the construction phase,
while maintaining the project's impeccable safety record."
Awarded in 2022, BorWin6 is a key part of McDermott's growing
energy transition portfolio and represents the company's first
project in the thriving offshore wind market. McDermott is
delivering engineering, procurement, construction, installation and
commissioning services, through a consortium with GEIRI / C-EPRI,
for an HVDC offshore converter platform, located offshore
Germany.
