Traditionally, an offshore platform or jacket is constructed piece-by-piece. When Gulf Marine Fabricators built the third largest offshore jacket in the Gulf of Mexico, due to the scale of the jacket it was built using prefabricated panels. Mammoet\u2019s task was to install the jacket\u2019s panels. Because of the panels\u2019 size Mammoet<\/a> rolled them up with strand jacks instead of cranes. This approach brought fabrication time down significantly and reduced costs. Furthermore, it allowed for the panels to be built entirely on the ground, increasing operational safety.<\/p>\n
