ALE’s Mega Jack 300 has performed its 100th jack-up on the Al-Zour oil refinery project in Kuwait

ALE is providing the full onshore heavy lifting solution for the Fluor Daweoo and Hyundai JV’s module strategy, performing the jack-up, transportation and installation of 188 modules.

The Mega Jack 300 is a cost-effective jacking solution for any type of site condition. Its components are easy to handle, being considerably more compact and lightweight than previous models, so reconfigurations can be made quickly on site, said the company’s statement.

There are now more than 20 Mega Jack 300 towers in ALE’s global fleet. A system of four towers is currently working at a shipyard in the UK and they will also be used on bridge installation projects later this year.

The Al-Zour complex is divided into three projects and includes a refinery, liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing facilities, and a petrochemicals complex. The Al-Zour Oil Refinery’s completion is planned for 2020 and it is expected to deliver 615,000 bpd.
