FOR THE DELIVERY OF A SET OF CRADLES, A SKIDDING SYSTEM AND AN UPENDING HINGE FOR ITS NEW FLOATING INSTALLATION VESSEL LES ALIZÉS TO HANDLE AND INSTALL EXTRALARGE MONOPILES. 08/10/2021 news Jan De Nul Group has selected Remazel S.p.A. for the delivery of a set of cradles, a skidding system and an upending hinge for its new Floating Installation Vessel Les Alizés to handle and install XXI monopiles. The design of this fully automated monopile installation system is tailor-made for Les Alizés and ideally suited to work in challenging weather conditions and harsh sea states. This mission equipment will allow Les Alizés to safely and efficiently install monopiles in offshore conditions. Les Alizés will use the monopile cradles on her deck to store monopiles. The monopile cradles can automatically adjust their supporting diameter. If required, the cradles can also support the tapered section of the monopile. The skidding system is needed to optimize the use of the deck and will enable Les Alizés to transport the monopiles in between the monopile cradles and the upending hinge. The upending hinge can accommodate monopiles weighing over 3,000 mt. The tub-mounted crane brings the monopile in a vertical position using the upending hinge. Once upended, the monopile is placed into the monopile gripper by the tub-mounted crane. Jan Van De Velde, Head of Newbuilding Department at Jan De Nul Group: “The construction of our offshore installation vessel Les Alizés is well on track. Recently, we have ordered an innovative Motion-Compensated Pile Gripper. Today, we add this automated monopile installation system, fully aligned with our continued philosophy to focus on operational efficiency and improved safety. We are delighted to team up with Remazel, an important industry partner known for its large track record in offering innovative engineering solutions for the offshore market, and we look forward to a fruitful collaboration.” Categories Events News Archive 2017 2018 © 2017 REMAZEL ENGINEERING SpA VAT CODE IT01023830167 REA MI-1794737 REMAZEL IS PART OF PRODUCTS & SERVICES POWER GENERATION FOLLOW US ON PRIVACY POLICY COOKIE SOCIETY INFO POWERED BY VALEO.IT We use cookies, including third parties, to improve the browsingexperience and to send you personalized promotional messages.
