Weighing of large offshore and industrial components is often necessary for installation and transportation purposes. It provides a reliable assessment of as-built support loads for structures. Ensuring the safe weighing of heavy units requires both a skilled team and reliable equipment.
DNV has been providing weighing services from Singapore for over three decades. Our weighing team is equipped with laboratory-calibrated electronic load cells (with an accuracy of 0.5% or better), a wide load range of hydraulic jacks and load cells (ranging from 50t to 1000t), and a synchronized lifting system. This ensures safe and reliable weighing on-site each time.
DNV can undertake total weighing operations or assist with specific operational activities based on client requirements. Our weighing service includes:
- Weighing of modules at 3 or more points: We use manual and/or synchronized weighing systems, compression load cells, and jacks
- Calculation of center of gravity
- Jacking of heavy items such as bridges and machinery
The typical structure and modules we weighed include:
- Jack-up rig cantilever
- FPSO modules and turret
- Offshore living quarters
- Offshore wind substation
- Offshore wind topside
- Offshore wind E-house.
