ABOUT THE FACILITY
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 High-pressure Exchange
Assembling the 1,500T VersaCrane™ TC-24000 off site and moving it via SPMT saved this client 15 days of downtime and allowed the refinery unit to run at full capacity until unit shutdown. During the scheduled outage, Deep South was tasked to replace two coke drums, each weighed 452,800 lbs and were 19’-2” outside diameter and 96’-0” long and were comparable in size and weight to the old drums.
A Flare for Efficiency

A Flare for Efficiency
Routine maintenance plant turnarounds are typically anything but straightforward—as a turnaround in the Southeast quickly demonstrated. The effort called for the removal and replacement of three exchangers, as well as a flare modular replacement. The size and location of the exchangers, the tight window for replacement of the flare, and localized high working-wind speeds were a few of the top challenges that the Deep South team were tasked to overcome.

Cantilever Bar Approach Helps Ease Exchangers Into Place
Deep South used a cantilever beam (also commonly referred to as a cantilever bar), which incorporates a compact counterweight design with customizable rigging attachment points, to move eight 118,000-pound exchangers into position under an existing steel structure at a refinery optimization project in the Southwest.
