Offshore Module Removal Using Temporary Lift Systems – An Alternative to Crane Vessels

A step-by-step removal methodology is essential to ensure both safety and efficiency. The process typically begins with a feasibility assessment to understand load paths and constraints. This is followed by defining lift points and load cases, after which a temporary lifting configuration is engineered to suit the specific situation. Detailed execution planning and sequencing are then developed to minimize risks during offshore operations. Finally, the module is removed in a controlled manner, ensuring stability and predictability throughout the operation.

Offshore assets often present significant challenges related to space, access, and brownfield conditions. Limited deck space, restricted crane reach, and the presence of existing or live infrastructure all add complexity to removal operations. In addition, aging structures may impose limitations on load capacity and require careful consideration during engineering. Addressing these constraints requires lifting solutions that integrate seamlessly with the existing environment while maintaining safety and control.

By attending this session, you’ll gain practical insights from Conbit’s extensive experience and learn how these systems can improve safety, control, and project efficiency.
