First Subsea, UK’s leading developer and supplier of Ballgrab ball and taper-based connector technology, supplied three Ballgrab Internal Lifting Tools (ILT) to Allseas.
The tools are designed for lifting loads up to 900mT and were used by Allseas for decommissioning the jacket structures for Tyra East D Flare Jacket and Tyra West D Flare Jacket. The final structures, 2 flare jackets, are on their way to the Sagro yard in Vlissingen for recycling.
The First Subsea ILT tools were designed to be inserted into a tubular receptacle attached to the structure to be lifted. The ILT tools for Allseas covers an internal receptacle diameter range from 660mm (26 inch) to 1524mm (60 inch).
