Ballasting
FoundOcean successfully completed a project for Veba Oil & Gas, pumping some 33,000 tonnes of ballast material into the Gravity Base Structure of the Hanze F2A facility.
Our ballasting equipment is highly versatile and can be assembled on a wide range of vessels and transport barges. The ballast material, in the form of a graded high-density ore, is supplied to the fluidising unit via conveyors for mixing with seawater. High output centrifugal pumps are then used to deliver the slurry via hoses to the structure.
To meet the high technical and performance specifications of offshore clients, FoundOcean design and procure all necessary equipment and materials required for the ballasting operations. A range of specialised ballasting systems is available, and subject to ballast density, can achieve delivery rates from 200 to 1,000 tonnes per hour.
