Deck machinery firm ACE Winches has been awarded a six-figure contract in support of a project to connect the Hebron gravity based structure (GBS) with its topsides.
The project will see ACE Winches supply hydraulic drum winch packages for the deep water Hebron oil field, off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, working in 95m water depth. The contract will include all winches, ancillary equipment and skilled personnel for the project.
ACE Winches will provide ACE 40-tonne WLL hydraulic drum winches, two ACE 12.5 tonne WLL hydraulic drum winches, a dedicated diesel hydraulic power unit for each winch and running line monitors to provide line and load monitoring.
In 2014, ACE Winches supplied a range of winches for use in the dry dock to tension the Hebron installation as it transitioned from dry dock into open water. The winches were then used to keep the GBS in position during the maneuver process.
