The Need
The Hibernia gravity base oil drilling platform in
Newfoundland, Canada, totally made of high-strength concrete, had to be poured with a slip form
system in over three hundred feet of water off the Atlantic coast.
BMH Solution:
BMH Systems supplied a twin central mix batch plant
mounted on a barge, with two 2 yd³ twin shaft mixers, 1 320 tons of aggregate storage and
220 tons of cement storage. This turnkey project also included an automation system capable of
batching in the harsh environment of the ocean with very strict tolerances and, had to be able to
withstand the worst possible storms.
