Bezemer was awarded the contract by Leighton for the supply of the pulling equipment to be installed on the Barge Minx. The spread consisted of a KTC 800 linear winch spread, foundation to connect the winch to the barge deck and an anchor system, approx. 8000 meter pulling wire and a large selection of shorter slings, sockets and shackles. We have also supplied 2 pieces of 500 mton SWL sheaves and a 1000 mton SWL sheave. The sheaves were used to compensate for length differences in the anchoring system. A total of 850 mton of equipment was shipped to India.

The operation was executed connecting the pulling wire to the anchor piles and pipeline to the barge. The pipeline was pulled out in sections of 500 meters which were prepared on a stringing yard. Half way the pull the anchor system was relocated to another set of piles and the pull was finished. The project was completed succesfully.
