SARENS TO SUPPLY HEAVY-LIFT CRANESTO KBR

Crane rental firm Sarens Group has signed a contract to supply two 1,600-tonne cranes to

engineering firm Kellogg, Brown & Root.

The cranes will be used for construction and expansion activities at an oil refinery in Corpus

Christi, Texas. The contract begins in March and is expected to take 10 months to complete.

Work includes heavy-li and placement procedures for two hydrocracker reactor vessels.

The largest of theses reactor units weighs 359.7 tonnes, and alongside the two cranes the liing

process will require a CC8800-1 crane with 84 meters of main boom and a super-li tray

containing 640 tonnes of ballast weight.

"The main challenge for this contract is the site will be active at the time of our heavy-li and

rigging operations. The crane must also be set back from the installation site to clear major

plant equipment, so the combination of distance and reactor weight made the CC8800-1 the

right crane for the job," said Sean Poynter, Sarens USA project estimator.

Belgium-based Sarens Group provides heavy-liing and engineering expertise and equipment

worldwide via a network of more than 100 subsidiaries in 54 countries.
