ACE 550te Linear Winch Package for Tuxpan Pipeline Project

The ACE 550te Linear Winch package performed the pull-out of the bundled pipeline, which was assembled onshore and fed into the shore crossing tunnel as the bundle is pulled from an offshore vessel, Quanta Iroquois.

The length of the shore crossing tunnel was 2,225m from the onshore entry point to the offshore exit pit. For the actual bundle pull-out an additional 300m of onshore entry ramp pipe and 500m of bundle was pulled free of the end of the tunnel making the overall pull-out approximately 3,025m.

The package consisted of 1 off ACE 550te SWL Safe Area Hydraulic Linear Winch, 1 off ACE 220kW Safe Area Open Loop Diesel HPU and 2 off ACE 100te SWL Safe Area Diesel Spooling Winches.
