Real-world applications

North Rankin A Platform, Indian Ocean, Australia

The North Rankin A platform, operated by Woodside on the North West Shelf, needed a reliable vertical access solution to handle the daily movement of over 51,000 tonnes of gas and gas condensate. Our expert team installed an Alimak SE 1200 explosion-proof industrial elevator tailored to meet the platform’s stringent hazardous zone requirements. Designed for non-man riding with external call stations, this elevator facilitates the safe and efficient transportation of equipment from the accommodation facilities to the South Bridge pedestrian landing. The installation process was meticulously planned and executed in both onshore and offshore phases, ensuring minimal disruption to platform operations while providing comprehensive testing and commissioning.

Petrofac FPF1, North Sea

The Petrofac Floating Production Facility 1 (FPF1) in the North Sea is another example of a successful Alimak project in this industry. We refurbished 37-year-old Alimak industrial elevators to enhance operational efficiency on this semi-submersible offshore platform for many years to come. The elevators are critical in transporting equipment and personnel between different platform levels, significantly reducing downtime and enhancing productivity. Engineered to operate in harsh offshore conditions, Alimak’s elevators provide reliable access solutions essential for the platform’s ongoing operations.

At Alimak, our unwavering commitment to innovation and safety has solidified our reputation as a trusted partner in the oil and gas industry. By providing customised vertical access solutions, we help enhance productivity and safety on some of the world’s most demanding oil and gas platforms. Our extensive expertise in handling complex projects and hazardous environments underscores our vital role in this industry’s success.
