• Two 90 foot vertical racking booms andkingposts (port and starboard) weresupplied, along with 3-Head Sea EmeraldBurners
• With a boom of 90 feet, and subsequentweights/forces, a base plate was designedto sweep through 90 degrees and supportthe weight of the boom
• Front end engineering was performed toverify the strength of the design under allloads and environmental conditionsaccording to American Bureau of Shipping(ABS) Classification of Drilling Systems(CDS) rules, performed using STAAD.Prosoftware – design and manufacture wascertified by ABS in accordance with theCDS standard
• The boom was supplied in a 30 footlengths to facilitate easy transportation andwas assembled in Singapore at the KeppelFels shipyard
• Testing of the boom and winching systemwas undertaken using water bags
• The booms were installed onto the rigwithin one year from initial order
