Here at J M BAXI HEAVY, we’re thrilled to share a monumental achievement in India’s engineering sphere – the successful delivery of three of the heaviest modules for the L&T Marjan offshore field project.
Details of the Project:
Despite the hurdles posed by the Covid-19 lockdown in March 2020, our determined engineering team stood strong, ensuring the seamless fabrication of these enormous modules. Dubbed TP-11, TP-12, and TP-13, these structures stand as shining examples of Indian engineering excellence.
Timelines and Execution:
Our journey began in November 2023, once we had navigated through the challenges brought on by the pandemic. With careful planning, we conducted loadouts every 60 days, a testament to our strategic project management approach. Through innovative loadout arrangements and the implementation of a float-over operation, we ensured the safe and efficient transportation of these massive structures.
Setting New Records:
J M BAXI HEAVY Successfully Delivers Three Heaviest Modules for L&T Marjan Offshore Field. The pinnacle of our achievement was reached on May 30, 2024, as we completed the final loadout of TP-12. Let’s delve into the specifics:
Name | Dimensions (LxWxH) mm | WT. (MT) | Qty | Load out dates | Loadout Wt. (MT) |
TP -11 TOPSIDE | 73.67×49.50×47.91 | 5663 | 1 | 03/12/2023 | 6857 |
TP -13 TOPSIDE | 73.67×49.50×47.91 | 6314 | 1 | 08/03/2024 | 7557 |
TP -12 TOPSIDE | 73.67×49.50×47.91 | 5554 | 1 | 30/05/2024 | 6786 |
These monumental modules, complete with load spreaders and axles, were transported and loaded out using state-of-the-art equipment, including 260 SPMT axle lines with 12 PPU and 85 ballast pumps.
Each loadout, from axle insertion to final placement onto the HDB-402, a 400-class float-over barge, was efficiently executed within a mere 36 hours.
With a combined weight of 18,000 metric tons and comprising 530,000 freight units, these modules signify a paradigm shift in engineering and logistics capabilities. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to L&T Hydrocarbon for entrusting us with this monumental project. Rest assured, it remains our steadfast commitment to uphold schedules and prioritize safety in all our endeavours.
