In 2012, Deep South Crane & Rigging, LLC formed a sister company, DS Americas to focus on serving both the Latin American and Canadian markets. Drawing on Deep South's many years of experience, DS Americas provides unique, timely and safe turnkey heavy lift and transport solutions in the petrochemical, energy and heavy industrial sectors.
When an essential industrial unit targeted for replacement began to fail earlier than expected, a plant operator called on Deep South to help transport and replace key components to support an emergency turnaround.
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.
Deep South lifted and set double-rail bridge truss sections weighing 800,000 pounds each along a railroad line that crosses the Tug Fork River at Hatfield Bottom near Matewan, WV. Our crews engineered and fabricated custom lifting beams suitable for removing the existing truss bridges and lifting the new bridge spans into place and used our 1,760-ton capacity Terex-Demag CC-8800-1 crawler crane.
