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.
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.
A major process unit turnaround (TAR) project for a petrochemical plant in the Southwest required some well-planned logistics, over 1,200 craftworkers (at peak) and a comprehensive fleet of cranes, trucks and customized skid (Jack & Slide) systems.
Deep South set the first of 12 components ranging from 85,000 pounds to 110,000 pounds using the 1,400-ton Demag CC-6800 at a mining facility in Michigan.
