TENSA DLR100L facilitated an offshore lift in the Dampier Archipelago

Austral Construction recently approached TENSA Equipment to supply a Dynamic Load Reducer in order to facilitate an offshore lift in the Dampier Archipelago. The project involved lifting an 80t load from a floating barge to a static platform.

Austral Construction required a Dynamic Load Reducer to reduce the dynamic loading on the crane due to the wave motion when lifting. A rental TENSA DLR100L was used on the project, increasing the cranes lift capacity when subjected to vessel motions and improving safety significantly during the operation.

In addition to being able to mobilise the DLR locally at very short notice and having full support from the Tensa team in Perth, Austral Construction’s team was happy with the performance of the DLR unit during the 2 week project and is currently in discussion with TENSA to hire the DLR100L unit long term.
