Upgrade of HITACHI KH180-3GLS foundation rig
03-07-2017
In cooperation with EFG we have upgraded a Jacbo HITACHI KH180-3GLS foundation rig to a leader concept which allows the machine to perform
displacement drilling with a maximum torque of 45 tm. In addition to the 38.6 m long, partly new box / latticed leader, which was engineered
in-house, upgrades were also made to the bracket and many other parts which make it possible to perform high torque displacement drilling with
this machine. New capacity tables were provided and the machine was also fully tested / and commissioned at the CAPE Holland yard, in the
presence of a Certifying Body (TÜV Nord), using the most recent TCVT scheme as a guideline.
