The execution strategy for the final vessel lifting was our brainchild, showcasing our team's innovative thinking and problem-solving capabilities.  During the year, we presented seven different lift options, diligently refining each until we settled on the one that garnered unanimous confidence. The final crane selection, featuring the LTM1450 and AC160-5, was pivotal in executing a 360° live plant operation.  One of the most challenging aspects was the placement of the 450T crane-loaded outriggers over an open drain directly above an underground service line - the Live Oily Water Drain Line.   Working closely with Worley and Woodside engineers, we designed a stabilised sand crane pad with geotextiles to ensure the live pipelines beneath could withstand the significant pressure involved.  We successfully installed two tanks with precision and safety, utilising almost 90% of their capacity within a 30m radius.  ![On the Hook November2](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/On%20the%20Hook%20November2.jpg?width=600&height=338&name=On%20the%20Hook%20November2.jpg) In adherence to Woodside's directives and drawing from lessons learned from Woodside’s offshore incidents, the final lift plan received approval after it underwent meticulous scrutiny by lifting subject matter experts in offshore and onshore lifting operations.  Our heavy lift engineering team invested around 300 hours in the project, providing invaluable insights and expertise. The Rigging Store was pivotal, supplying all specialised rigging required for the operation.  The final execution was orchestrated on-site by Michael Richards with comprehensive pre-planning from our heavy lift engineering team, ensuring the seamless success of this complex lifting operation.  Well done to the entire team for their dedication and hard work; we look forward to more triumphs in the future.  ## Leave a comment Previous Post A message from Lorna Rechichi, October '23 Next Post Around the world with the CC8800 ## Recommended For You [![](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/hubfs/Liontown%20Resources.png)](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/on-the-hook/the-wins-are-stacking-up) [Projects](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/on-the-hook/tag/projects) [FMG](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/on-the-hook/tag/fmg) [Talison Lithium](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/on-the-hook/tag/talison-lithium) [liontown](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/on-the-hook/tag/liontown) 2 Min Read ### [The wins are stacking up](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/on-the-hook/the-wins-are-stacking-up) Over the last couple of months, we are thrilled to have announced a series of exciting contract wins that ...
