SSI offers Specialized Lifting & Erection Services using:
Floating Ginpole Technology
The Ginpole is a simple but effective method of decommissioning or erecting derricks in certain situations where no suitable dock or barge cranes are available and is a cost effective alternative.
Ginpole Technology has been around for many years and is available in different designs and capacities to suit specific requirement.
Originally the Ginpole was designed to assemble small masts and communication towers. However, over the years it has been used in the offshore oil and gas industry for other tasks: The Ginpole method for erecting or de-commissioning derricks is an alternative to heavy lift cranes as it is self-elevating and has no height restrictions.
Today with increased demand for more challenging installations, the Ginpole is still proving to be a worthy asset to the offshore construction industry.
