In January Height Specialists – in collaboration with Huisman Equipment – tilted the top of the crane at the Solitaire of Allseas near the Great Belt Bridge, Denmark.
To make sure the ship could sail under the Great Belt Bridge, the top of the crane had to be tilted. The work consisted of two parts:
- Stand-by rescue team. The cables of the crane were removed by a professional team. Height Specialists was the stand-by rescue team in order to make this work as good and safe as possible. Our technicians prepared the rigging prior to the work in order to be able to carry out any rescue as quickly and safely as possible.
- Subsequently, our technicians installed lifting points in order to be able to tilt the top of the crane.
A team of 3 IRATA level 3 supervisors successfully completed the work in 19 days.
It is practically impossible to lift someone down via stairs and ladders in a gurney in a fast and safe way. This takes too much time and in emergencies, it is important to act quickly. By means of rope access, it was possible to carry out a possible rescue and bring someone quickly and safely to the deck.
Height Specialists also installed the lifting points to tilt the crane. By means of rope access we installed these in 1 day.
