Mammoet has completed the demolition and replacement of five heater furnaces in Texas City, USA.
Due to limited available space in the refinery to lay down the boom and jib of Mammoet's CC8800 crawler cranes, the heavy lift specialist constructed the two cranes in mid-air.
The east CC8800 jib was installed while suspended in the air by two cranes, while the west CC8800 jib and the main boom were assembled in mid-air above inactive pipe racks.
Once completed, the two CC8800 cranes lifted more than 50 components over several months.
