Conbit Introduces the SL900 Lifting System

What the Experts Say about the SL900 Lifting System

‍‍Don’t just take our word for it—hear from the experts.

The SL900 Lifting System Explained

‍The SL900 Lifting System is designed to be positioned anywhere on an offshore facility, with loads carefully introduced to the primary structural members of the asset. Conbit ensures proper load management throughout the process.

Once erected on-site, the system is connected to high-speed lift winches. After assembly is complete, the entire system undergoes rigorous load testing to ensure reliability.

A Typical Use Case of the SL900 Lifting System

Imagine this scenario:

Your budget for a modification project is approved, and you’ve ordered a new module for your offshore facility, slated for installation in Q3 of next year. To stay on schedule, you begin discussions with crane vessel operators about their availability in Q4. You identify the perfect vessel and secure a contract, confident that everything is on track for timely installation.

But, as often happens in offshore brownfield projects, unexpected problems arise:

• The module is delayed, leading to exorbitant demurrage costs.
• The crane vessel terminates its contract, opting for a better opportunity and leaving you to manage penalties.

The result? Significant delays and budget overruns that jeopardize your project.

The SL900 as a Solution

‍With the SL900 Lifting System, these challenges could be avoided entirely:

• Your project becomes more predictable and flexible.
• The risks of budget overruns and time delays are significantly reduced.
• You gain greater control over your offshore operations.

The SL900 redefines offshore lifting—giving you peace of mind and the reliability you need.

SL900 Product Development Steps

The SL900 Lifting System is a direct response to the challenges faced by Conbit’s offshore clients worldwide. Drawing from the success of previous systems with lower capacities, the SL900 was designed to meet more demanding requirements.

Here’s an overview of the development process:

1. Defining Design Parameters
   Establishing the foundation for the system, including:
   • Modular configuration.
   • Lifting capacity exceeding 150 metric tonnes.
   • Easy on-site installation.
   • Optimized for offshore lifting operations.
2. Design and Engineering
   Progressing from concept to a fully detailed design to ensure reliability and efficiency.
3. Third-Party Verification
   Collaborating with DNV from the early stages of development to validate safety and compliance.
4. Constructability Assessment
   Manufacturing test components to evaluate construction feasibility and optimize the design.
5. Full-Scale Production
   Procuring and assembling components to create the first complete SL900 Lifting System.
6. Load Testing
   Demonstrating system performance through rigorous load tests, ensuring it meets the specified lifting capacity and safety standards.

This structured approach ensures the SL900 is ready to tackle the most complex offshore lifting challenges with confidence and reliability.
