151 - GustoMSC 08.107 - Hydr. Jacking System HPE
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.
