CAPE Holland successfully deployed its first commercial application of the new Vibro Lifting Tool (VLT) to install four piles in 90m water depth at the Maersk-operated Culzean field in the UK North Sea.
This installation is part of the pre-piling project for the Culzean wellhead platform jacket, which will be installed next year. The VLT was used as a stabbing tool to install all four piles in one sequence to stable depth through a template without any tool change. Negating the need for a tool change meant it was possible to install all four piles in just one 12-hour shift to the predicted penetration depths.
