Mammoet Asia Pacific Factory to Foundation
Worldwide specialists in heavy lifting and transport
Factory-to-Foundation Mammoet’s concept for modular construction Modularization is increasingly used to compress the timetable for the construction of large plants, often in remote areas. The larger and heavier the modules can be, the greater the savings. Mammoet, worldwide leaders in engineered heavy lifting and transport, have the expertise, people and equipment to handle even the largest modules. Our Factory-to-Foundation concept means that you only have to deal with a single contractor. We collect the modules from the fabricator, transport them to site, and place them on the foundation. We also arrange all engineering, route surveys and permits saving you time and money.

Mammoet Asia Pacific has a large fleet of equipment such as heavy cranes and SPMTs (Self-Propelled Modular Transporters). We can also obtain further specialist equipment from other Mammoet sites. The fleet permanently based in the region includes over 800 axle lines of conventional and self-propelled trailers. Our cranes range from compact mobile cranes to ring cranes with a capacity of 5000 tons. The Mammoet worldwide fleet gives us access to even heavier equipment. The equipment is operated and maintained by our 600 personnel. Our in-house engineers are supported by the specialist Engineering Department at Mammoet’s head office. For large projects we typically have a team working at the client’s site for a longer period. This enables them to liaise effectively with the client, advise on module design, prepare the transport plans, design sea fastenings and pick-up points, etc.

Planning
Mammoet can get involved with projects at an early stage. This gives us an opportunity to advise on the design of the modules and discuss the transport options. Optimization of the design at this stage can save signiďŹ cant costs and time. Once the dimensions and weights of the modules are known we can identify the best options for the load-out at the fabricator’s yard, the barges or ships used for the sea crossing, and the transport over land to the construction site.
Sea transport
Depending on the load, route and destination, Mammoet uses either towed barges or heavy-lift ships for sea transport. Our engineers will carefully identify the centre of gravity of the load and design the sea fastenings. Modules may be loaded and unloaded using the vessel’s own cranes, oating cranes, onshore cranes or roll-on/roll-off with SPMTs. Typically, we will aim to keep the centre of gravity of the load as low as possible, to improve the stability of the vessel and reduce the need for sea fastenings. If necessary, the load can be jacked up at the destination to raise it to the required installation height.

Route survey
While our engineers are busy in the ofďŹ ce or at the client’s site, our route surveyors check the constraints associated with the route over land. This includes measuring clearances, identifying street furniture to be relocated, overhead cables to be rerouted or shut down temporarily, road gradients, bridge capacities, etc. Identifying these constraints well in advance means that we can plan the transport effectively and avoid delays once the load gets on the road. Mammoet will also identify any permits which are needed for the transport operations and apply for them, liaise with local and road authorities and the police, and arrange escorts and parking arrangements on the route. We will also ensure that any necessary temporary or permanent modiďŹ cations are made to street furniture, cables and bridges.

Road transport
Once the sea transport reaches the port of destination the modules are ofoaded. They are generally transported to the construction site on conventional trailers or SPMTs. Mammoet’s extensive experience helps us deal with poor roads, weak bridges, gradients and demanding environmental conditions.

Installation
Our personnel will study the arrangements on site and identify the best way of installing the modules on the foundations. Often this can be done with the SPMTs used for road transport. Where necessary they can be ďŹ tted with risers to install equipment on tall foundations.

AQIS
Mammoet is thoroughly familiar with the AQIS (Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service) requirements for cleaning construction equipment such as cranes and SPMTs which are brought into Australia. We ensure that the equipment is cleaned thoroughly and that timber is replaced where necessary. This avoids delays when the modules and equipment arrive in Australian ports.
