Heavy-lift specialist company Mammoet has transported and installed a 10,000-square-meter private luxury pool deck at a new hotel complex in Dubai.
The construction project required positioning of not just one but six sections and additionally two bridge sections to create a fresh water pool measuring 612 square meters and as well as a salt water pool measuring 828 square meters.
The team of Mammoet collected the components from Port Rashid in Dubai and transported them to the project site using three barges over the course of eight days.
The six large sections, which weighed 400 to 750 tonnes, were lifted into place on top of 90 foundation piles. The pool sections were then lifted using a 2,000-ton sheerleg connected to a large crane barge and controlled via a dynamic positioning system using eight thrusters.
Headquartered in Schiedam (near Rotterdam), in the south of The Netherlands, Mammoet provides a range of services from transportation and logistics planning to heavy-lift and crane rental. The company has been very successful in the past years and get fame because of the “kursk” sub-marine of the Russia Navy they recovered.
