Project details

This contract involved ACE Hire Equipment and Hire Personnel in a unique cable pull operation with McDermott, in the Middle East. ACE Winches was awarded the contract with McDermott for the installation of an offshore composite power cable (power and fibres). The special traction winching system was used to pull a rope that the cable is attached to in order to deploy the cable from one of McDermott's offshore operations vessels to the beach. 

ACE's scope of supply covered the provision of a 40 tonne Pull Synthetic Rope Traction Winch, 100 tonne Spooling Winch, 200 tonne Spooling Winch and 120 tonne Vessel A&R Winch, along with 5000m of synthetic rope, supplied by Samson USA.

The traction winch system that was in operation in the region is one of three traction systems that are currently available from the ACE Winches Hire Fleet and can be deployed in any location.
