In a monumental achievement
within India's engineering sphere, J M BAXI HEAVY announces the successful
delivery of three of the heaviest modules for the L&T Marjan offshore field
project.
Details
of the Project:
Despite the hurdles posed by
the Covid-19 lockdown in March 2020, the determined engineering team at J M
BAXI HEAVY ensured the seamless fabrication of these enormous modules. Dubbed
TP-11, TP-12, and TP-13, these structures stand as shining examples of Indian
engineering excellence.
Timelines
and Execution:
The journey began in November
2023, navigating through challenges brought on by the pandemic. With careful
planning, loadouts were conducted every 60 days, a testament to the strategic
project management approach. Through innovative loadout arrangements and the
implementation of a float-over operation, the safe and efficient transportation
of these massive structures was ensured.

These monumental modules,
complete with load spreaders and axles, were transported and loaded out using
state-of-the-art equipment, including 260 SPMT axle lines with 12 PPU and 85
ballast pumps. Each loadout, from axle insertion to final placement onto the HDB-402,
a 400-class float-over barge, was efficiently executed within a mere 36 hours.
With a combined weight of 18,000 metric tons and comprising 530,000 freight
units, these modules signify a paradigm shift in engineering and logistics
capabilities.
J M BAXI HEAVY extends its heartfelt gratitude to L&T Hydrocarbon for entrusting the company with this monumental project. Rest assured, it remains the steadfast commitment of J M BAXI HEAVY to uphold schedules and prioritize safety in all endeavours.
