Installation of Platform Topsides by Floatover

ICON leads the way in floatover installation of smaller platform topsides having developed a hydraulic lowering system for fast load transfer suitable for topsides up to 1500 tonnes and single tower jackets.

This method is cost competitive compared to traditional crane barge installation systems and also minimises installation weather risk and docking loads. When our hydraulic lowering system is combined with a cantilevered truss arrangement, installation by floatover can be achieved even where the sub-structure is not able to withstand large mooring or installation forces..
