DeltaLifter Technologies AS

DeltaLifter Technologies AS is rated 3 out of 5 in the category oil & energy. Read and write reviews about DeltaLifter Technologies AS. The DeltaLifter is a single-lift tool specifically developed for safe & low-cost removal and transportation to shore of large decommissioned offshore platform jackets, without use of heavy-lift crane vessels or flat-top barges. The DeltaLifter enters the decommissioning process after the platform deck has been lifted off and piles and other subsea connections have been cut. The sole purpose of the DeltaLifter is the safe removal of the jacket. The DeltaLifter Features DeltaLifter units can be built in different sizes, each designed to remove a range of jackets within each unit’s dimensioning limitations. Each DeltaLifter unit will provide: - A safe solution, minimizing subsea and offshore work. No divers, and no operators onboard the Jacket or the DeltaLifter during operations. - A robust box structure that is easy to fabricate, operate and maintain - A flat deck area to accommodate support cradles - Low wave loads and reduced chance of impact damage on the jacket during connection, lifting and towing - Ample weather tolerance, permitting a wide operating window and reduced risk of down-time - Benign motion characteristics due to limited water surface area during positioning and tie-up - A shallow draft allowing access to a range of recycling sites - Short operation time offshore, maximizing the number of removal operations per season - Low capital and operational costs - The DeltaLifter design and operating principle is covered by several international patents. DeltaLifter Technologies AS, the DeltaLifter patent owner, has entrusted the further DeltaLifter commercial and technical development – incl. design packages for Class approval and shipyard construction of prototype units – to International Contract Engineering (“ICE”). www.icedesign.info. ICE will also supervise construction and commissioning of prototype DeltaLifter units, and will provide engineering services to builders, owners and operators of DeltaLifter units.
