In 1983, after successfully operating in Louisiana for 15 years, Deep South chose this strategic location in the petrochemical corridor in Southwest Louisiana. This full-service crane and transport office contains a test bed facility for Deep South’s rigging components, an equipment refurbishment facility, and a fabrication facility giving the ability to build small components for custom jobs.
A five-week equipment turnaround at a refinery in the Southeast required multiple equipment transports, removals, and replacements across a large work area.
Deep South crews were challenged to haul, lift, and set 84 modules, including three towers (one measuring 100’ long, 350,000 lbs.) as well as various pieces of process equipment, such as piping, tanks, PDC buildings, and transformers—all within a tight schedule. Many of the modules had offset centers of gravity further complicating the lift and set.
In preparation for a capacity expansion project, Deep South transported a 939,327-pound ammonia converter shell from the manufacturer to its plant in Donaldsonville, La. The trek required moving the system about 135 miles by water to a barge unloading site and 30 miles over the road.
