Renewable Energy

The U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects electricity generation from renewable sources such as wind and solar to surpass nuclear and coal by 2021 and to surpass natural gas by 2045. As the United States works toward reducing its carbon footprint, Deep South stands ready to use its 55 years of expertise as a leader in the heavy lift and heavy haul industry to aid in the successful installation and maintenance of these projects.

The award-winning team at Deep South understand that these renewable projects take ingenuity as they increase in complexity, with components becoming larger and more modularized.

Support for Offshore Wind

One of the unique challenges in the nascent United States offshore wind industry is complying with the Jones Act. The Jones Act requires the transportation of people, merchandise, and industrial activities within United States territorial waters be built, flagged, owned, and operated by United States citizens or permanent residents. Deep South has the heavy haul SPMTs and cranes to provide turnkey solutions for all offshore wind components imported from overseas where we can offload, stage, and reload components onto a Jones Act-compliant vessel from any port location.

In the future, floating turbines will become more prevalent in the United States Deep South has the large capacity cranes and experienced crane operators to assist with any assembly operations needed. Deep South will provide port side turbine assembly as the technology is commercialized.

Pressed for Time

A vehicle manufacturer’s large stamping press—a massive machine used for shaping body panels—is online and operational thanks to efficient installation by Deep South. The three primary components included a 181-ton press bed (27.72’ L x 16.4’ W x 13.12’ H), 250-ton press crown (28.38’ L x 16.4’ W x 13.12’ H) and a 92-ton press slide (21’ x 10.83’ x 10.5’).

Saddle Up: Customized Solutions Place Refinery Column with Care, Ease

The Deep South team was tasked to receive, transport and set a 790,025-pound debutanizer. This specialized distillation column measures 174’-3” long with a 21’-3” diameter. The debutanizer was received from an ocean-going vessel at the Port of New Orleans. Once cleared through customs, the debutanizer was loaded on a barge and pushed to a roll-off site 8 hours upriver, and prepared for transport to the refinery.

Multi-Module Mission

View Project
Multi-Module Mission

The heavy haul transport of oil and gas refinery components is always a challenge. Transporting 17 modules, all in the span of two weeks, raised the bar. The modules varied greatly in size and weight. Two of the modules exceeded 260,000 lbs., while 11 were more than 16’ high, three were more than 19’ high, and 13 had widths greater than 18’. Initially, the customer had trouble finding a company to move the modules to their site in Texas.
