SUBSEA and offshore solutions provider Unique Group has reported a successful completion of the world’s largest water bag load test without spreader beams.
Taking place last month, the 1760 MT proof load test was carried out in the UAE on the derrick crane of M/s Valentine Maritime owned vessel, DLB 1600 Derrick Pipelay Barge.
Eighteen water weights and Seaflex WaterLoad bags of capacity 35t, 100t and 110t were used, the latter being the largest water bag available on the market and best suited for heavy load testing applications.
A revolving load test was completed at 1320 MT and the total lifting height of the proof load test was marked at 65m.
Graham Brading, Unique Group’s Buoyancy and Ballast group director, said: “This is an outstanding achievement for Unique Group, which has further solidified our position as the market leader for buoyancy and load testing solutions.
“Unique Group’s continuous dedication to product development stems from our clients’ feedback, and their trust in our capabilities to manage their complex, groundbreaking projects is a true testament to our expertise and unrivalled product offering.”
