The new equipment includes seven Mercedes-Benz trucks, 60 Goldhofer conventional axle lines, Azobé crane mats, and a range of all-terrain and crawler cranes. The crane fleet comprises three 160-tonne, one 250-tonne and one 500-tonne all terrain cranes, as well as two 250-tonne and one 400-tonne crawler cranes. Based at Mammoet KSA's operational hub in Al Jubail, the additional equipment enables the company to support more projects simultaneously while maintaining its high standards of safety and engineering. The expanded fleet enhances Mammoet's ability to support critical turnaround and maintenance projects, where detailed planning, readily available equipment and precise execution are essential to minimizing downtime and keeping facilities operating safely. "Saudi Arabia is one of the world's most active industrial and construction markets, with customers delivering an increasing number of major projects simultaneously," said Abdul Rouf, General Manager, Mammoet KSA. "This investment increases the availability of specialized equipment within the Kingdom, allowing us to respond more quickly to customer requirements, support multiple projects at the same time and provide the engineering expertise needed for increasingly demanding operations. Alongside expanding our fleet, we continue to strengthen our local team to ensure every project is delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest standard.". The investment forms part of Mammoet's long-term growth strategy in the Kingdom, strengthening its in-country capability and reducing reliance on equipment mobilized from outside the country. By increasing local equipment availability, Mammoet provides customers with greater schedule certainty and flexibility while supporting concurrent projects. With more than 50 years of operations in the country, Mammoet continues to strengthen its local capability to support the Kingdom's growing demand for specialised heavy lifting and transport solutions.

Mammoet unveils new Monopile solutions. Rate this post Mammoet has successfully deployed two new heavy lifting innovations during the Baltic Power offshore wind project, improving the safety and efficiency of handling next-generation XXL monopile foundations. The new technologies were used to support Van Oord during the marshalling of 78 monopiles at the Port of Rønne, Denmark, before installation at the Baltic Power offshore wind farm, located 23 kilometres off the Polish coast. Once operational, the project is expected to generate around 4 TWh of renewable electricity annually, covering approximately three percent of Poland's electricity demand. The monopiles, measuring up to 86.3 metres in length, 9.1 metres in diameter and weighing as much as 1,680 tonnes, were transported using Mammoet's XXL Monopile Transport System. First introduced in 2024, the system enables the safe handling, storage and transport of increasingly larger offshore wind foundations while reducing civil works through its innovative foldable saddle design. For quayside lifting operations, Mammoet also deployed its new MTC 1600 terminal crane for the first time. Working in tandem, two cranes with a combined lifting capacity of 3,200 tonnes transferred the monopiles from the quay directly into the water for loading onto Van Oord's installation vessel Svanen. During the project, Mammoet also introduced process improvements by using the MTC 1600 cranes to unload monopiles directly from barges, reducing handling time and significantly improving operational efficiency. "When we were in discussions with Van Oord, it wanted to upgrade the Svanen to have a 3,000-tonne lifting capacity so the vessel could install XXL monopiles in the Baltics," said Jaap van der Riet, Commercial Manager at Mammoet. "To further support that, we said we would develop cranes and systems that matched this capacity. This is a real strength of Mammoet. If no solutions exist, we develop them together with our clients to meet their specific needs." The project follows Mammoet's earlier work upgrading Svanen with a new A-frame, reinforcing its role in supporting the next generation of offshore wind installations.

Mammoet performs FPU weighing, jacking for Woodside's Scarborough project. Mammoet worked with QMW to develop a solution for moving and installing the FPU topsides module. Mammoet has completed the weighing, jacking and load-out of a 33,000t floating production unit (FPU) for Woodside Energy's Scarborough project at the Qingdao McDermott Wuchuan (QMW) fabrication yard in China. The operation utilised Mammoet's Mega Jack 10000 system, marking its first use on a project of this scale. Mammoet worked with QMW and project engineers from the early phases, beginning eight years prior, to develop a solution for moving and installing the FPU topsides module and its deck support frame. Project teams determined that integrating weighing and jacking processes would reduce overall timelines. The Mega Jack 10000 system, using four towers strategically placed under the load's strongest points, lifted and weighed the topsides simultaneously. Eighty load cells, each capable of measuring up to 750t, were incorporated into the system for accurate weight determination and even load distribution. Engineers manufactured a bespoke load-spreading beam, which was fabricated and attached to the base of the topsides, allowing jacking operations from four points and also supporting construction activities. Once the system established the final weight of the topsides, the Mega Jack towers elevated the structure to 16m, permitting insertion and connection of the deck support frame (DSF) beneath. After weight transfer from the towers to the DSF, crews shifted the topsides onto the installation barge in measured increments, utilising eight strand jacks. Mammoet managed barge ballasting to maintain stability during this transition and loading phase. The engineering solution involved constructing the topsides near ground level, reducing the amount of lifting equipment required and minimising the reinforced surface area needed for operations. The integrated beam replaced the need for additional steel in the form of conventional load-spreading beams, streamlining materials and equipment use. This approach facilitated parallel construction activities and removed the need to wait for the support frame to complete before fabricating the topsides, avoiding work at height and promoting operational efficiency. Previous planning discussions, dating back to the initial design stages, allowed for project efficiencies by enabling integrated lifting operations and closer ground-level work. Mammoet's involvement in the design process ensured the load-out process proceeded according to the planned schedule and specifications for the Scarborough development.
