The Arkutun Dagi Jack Up

We thought you would be interested in the latest video of the record breaking Jack-up of the Arkutun Dagi topside in Korea.

The fascinating video shows exactly how ALE used the innovative Mega Jack to lift the record breaking weight to a height of 24m. The topside was lifted and additional assembly work was carried out which added the additional weight to the structure that on its completion weighed 43,475t.

The design of the Mega Jack keeps working at height and worker / machinery interaction to an absolute minimum, and enables any readings and adjustments to be made via a control hub.

Exxon Neftegas Limited awarded ALE ‘Contractor of the Year' for 'Excellence in Safety Performance’ on the project. The award was presented at the annual Sakhalin 1 Contractor SSHE Forum in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia last September.

The piece will become part of the Arkutun Dagi field off the east coast of Russia; the development is expected to be the largest oil and gas production platform in Russia. The first oil is scheduled to be produced later this year.

Kees Claasen said,

With safety at the core of what we do at ALE, we are honored to have received this award. Gaining recognition for our safe working, particularly on a record breaking project shows the value the team put on safety. As with everything we do at ALE, it is a team effort, and with a strong team we can achieve great things.”
