Deck Raising Systems

The project was completed for Devon Energy on their Eugene Island 330B & 330C platforms and used 32 hydraulic rams with 260 tons capacity each.  The eight pile platforms had experienced considerable storm damage during hurricanes Katrina and Rita yet still had production life warranting increasing the air gap by 14 feet.

Versabar developed a split sleeve which kept the legs of the platform captured during the entire process of cutting the legs and raising the platform, the sleeves then became the legs extensions at the completion of the deck raising. Versabar used a pin connection to keep the platforms storm safe during the cutting and welding process.  Engineering, fabrication, testing, delivery and completion of this “first in the Gulf of Mexico” project was completed by the staff of Versabar’s Houston facility.
