Following successful load testing on-board the Liftboat 'Seajacks Kraken' Water Weights were requested to assist a client in the load testing of it's sister ship the 'Seajacks Leviathan'. Both vessels are self-propelled, self elevating liftboats for use in harsh environmental conditions. The vessels facilitate installation and maintenance of offshore wind turbines, as well as the service and maintenance of offshore Oil and Gas platforms in the North Sea.
The client required a 200 tonne load to be applied in increments to facilitate comparison readings of the crane's safe load indicator. Water Weights bags are ideal for this type of testing due to nature of the bags' capability in achieving various loads, by simply filling and draining without having to rig multiple stacks of solid weights. The whole test was achieved using six 35 tonne water bags configured in two sets of three bags hung from a single Water Weights Load Measuring Shackle.
All set up, rigging and testing were completed in one day much to the client's satisfaction. For further information; you may find us online @ www.waterweights.com
