FG International Holland B.V., the Dutch Special Lifting company, recently has carried out an extraordinary flare tip replacement at Total Indonesia.
Both flare tips to be replaced were identical and in close proximity of each other (219 metres) with the flare stacks standing in a swampy area.
FG accomplished this huge task by working from 2 shallow draft landing craft on which FG fixed its winches. Due to the tidal range there were limited time slots for part of the scope.
FG carried out this flare tip replacement with 2 teams of 4 technicians. The initial proposed time to carry out the flare tip replacement was 5 days, but due to the speed, efficiency and technical knowhow of the FG technicians, the job was completed within 3,5 days, which resulted in 1,5 days increased uptime for Total.
