GustoMSC Hydraulic Jacking System
High Performance Elevation
General
GustoMSC jacking systems are known worldwide for their
performance, reliability, simplicity and use of standardized
elements. The hydraulic positive engagement systems
have been used on numerous Self Elevating Platforms,
Jack-Up barges and specialized Wind Turbine Installation
units. In line with the latest Offshore Wind Farm
developments GustoMSC has developed a High
Performance Elevation system.
These developments led to orders for newly constructed
Wind Turbine Installation units with heavy lift crane and
jacking capacities. For economical installations of wind
farms, jacking re-cycle times, high crane reach and vessel
speeds are important factors.
Description
The name High Performance Elevation characterizes the
state of the art system available in the market. The design
is a double acting system which saves on recycle time.
The box section leg plus hydraulic positive engagement
jacking system suit a range of platforms for medium water
depths, where frequent repositioning is required. In
addition to the delivery of the jacking system, the detailed
design of the legs, upper & lower leg guides, jack-house
and spud-cans will be provided to guarantee optimum
interfacing.
Applications
Wind Turbine Installation units
Wind Turbine Maintenance units
Transport feeder units
Construction jack-ups
