You will find Meada LC785-M telescopic cranes and the mighty 300 ton Sennebogen 7700 on board our vessels.Īs Future Heavy Lift Crane Operator you are charged with the mechanical operation of the crawler cranes, following instructions from a dedicated person on deck and monitoring the instruments in the operator's cabin. Before you can start working on the biggest offshore cranes we want you to familiarize yourself with crane operations offshore, safety, people, our equipment and our crawler cranes on the deck of our vessels as Future Heavy Lift Crane Operator. The heavy lift cranes on our vessels have a lifting capacity ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 ton. “Construction of Hinkley Point C’s two reactors continues to provide evidence that repeating an identical design improves quality and efficiency – something that will bring big benefits to Sizewell C in Suffolk,” he said.The Future Heavy Lift Crane Operator position is the first necessary step towards operating the biggest offshore cranes in the world as Heavy Lift Crane Operator. The ring is one of five pieces that make up the steel containment for each reactor.Ĭrooks said the work being done in Somerset would benefit the proposed Sizewell C project, if it goes ahead.
EDF said it will eventually lift pieces weighing more than 1,000 tonnes. “The precision involved is like watchmaking on an industrial scale,” he said.īig Carl was made by Saerens in Belgium, stands 250 metres tall and moves on rails. Hinkley Point C managing director Stuart Crooks hailed the “extraordinary” feat. The ring was placed onto 96 hydraulic jacks that lowered it into position. Gear used to secure the element took the total lift to 575 tonnes. The 17-metre tall and 47-metre wide ring was prefabricated at the Somerset site, and on its own weighs 382 tonnes. The world’s largest crane, nicknamed Big Carl, has completed its biggest ever lift at Hinkley Point C.Įarly on Thursday morning, when the wind was down, the crane carried out a 575 tonne lift as it installed the first of three massive steel rings at the nuclear power plant.
