Safe Lifting Europe B.V. has emerged as a pivotal player in the successful placement of two colossal pylons by the Gulliver (Scaldis) in the Binnenspuikanaal in IJmuiden. These monumental structures, each weighing nearly 3000 tons, were expertly maneuvered into position using the company’s cutting-edge heavy lifting materials.
The endeavor was made possible through the utilization of Safe Lifting Europe B.V.’s modular lifting beams, each equipped with an impressive capacity of 2000 tons. This feat underscores the company’s commitment to delivering top-notch solutions for heavy lifting requirements.
Safe Lifting Europe B.V. expressed their appreciation to Scaldis SMC for placing their trust in their capabilities and services. Their role in the project highlights their expertise and reliability in handling intricate lifting operations of such magnitude.
The project itself, known as the “Selectieve Onttrekking Ijmuiden,” holds significance in environmental preservation and maritime infrastructure development. Upon completion, it aims to mitigate environmental impact by returning saltwater to the North Sea, which currently enters the canal every time a vessel traverses the IJmuiden lock complex.
The construction of each pylon required approximately 1000m³ of concrete, emphasizing the scale and complexity of the undertaking. Safe Lifting Europe B.V.’s involvement in this project not only underscores their technical proficiency but also their contribution to advancing sustainable maritime solutions.
This accomplishment further solidifies Safe Lifting Europe B.V.’s position as a leader in the heavy lifting industry, showcasing their ability to tackle challenging projects with precision and efficiency.
Through their dedication to excellence and innovation, Safe Lifting Europe B.V. continues to play a vital role in shaping the landscape of maritime infrastructure and project freight logistics.
