Happy New Year! I haven't been on the forum for awhile but thought you might be interested in the size of vessels they build in Alberta. Dacro is one the premier vessels builders. 318ft. long and 1,760,000lbs!

Impressive. I love watching videos of very large structure moves. Please post if you come across video of this one.

Carl, were you over there on that project and that is why your silence? Thought you were retired. I missed your input. Was waiting to see if you had an impression on the new HF welders.

Ron, I do know that if you buy one, Carl will be happy to play with it!

Be interested to see how they erect something that heavy and tall.

They must have a crane or cranes that will to the job or they would not have built it on the flat. I have seen some **** big cranes. Often the crane(s) are brought to the site in sections and erected there.

I'm not Carl. I think you are thinking of Shield Arc. Mammoet is moving the vessel so most likely lifting it. They may use one of their modular ring cranes. The largest one will lift 5000 tons! I wouldn't be surprised if moving and setting cost a 1/4 million or more.

Ron knows Carl in person. I think he was just trying to wake SA up since he has been AWOL lately and Ron is looking for some thoughts on a new welder.
