Installation and Construction Equipment Floatover System

ICON has developed a floatover system to suit installation of topsides decks up to 1200 tonnes. The method provides an alternative to using crane barges, and when used in conjunction with a rig-installed substructure it completely eliminates the dependency on crane barge.

ICON developed the floatover system from the concept right through to carrying out the installation offshore. The substructure and deck need to be specifically designed to suit the method. Hence early involvement by ICON in the design is required to ensure success offshore.

The original system had a rated capacity of 750 tonnes. Since then ICON has carried out tank testing to firm up a floatover system of up to 1200 tonnes capacity.
