This project was a complete redesign of our standard jack and slide systems. The tight confinement of the vessel left no room for sliding equipment. Therefore, all equipment placement and connections had to be outside of the vessel. The Launcher design accommodated this requirement to build and launch sections into […]

Formula/Bradley Engineering has designed gantry systems for multiple applications. One of the applications that was a challenge and required a different design was for a drilling ship. Many other factors come into the design such as movement of the ship and location and amount of support locations. The design was […]
This vessel was small but it was located in a very difficult location for removal. This vessel was vertical, standing over two floors. The second floor had an opening for the vessel to be vertical and the vessel was attached to a stack that projected through the roof around 120 […]
Removing vessels from remote areas can be challenging. This vessel was one floor up around twenty feet in elevation. The vessel had a boot that dropped down through the first floor and was inset of the floor by six feet. The vessel also was inward from the opening by thirty […]
Jack and Slide of this tower placed a lot of stress on the sliding equipment. The vessel was 30’-0” in diameter and 340’-0” LG. The vessel weighed in at 1000 Ton. Formula/Bradley supplied services for Hydro and Jack & Slide of the vessel which weighed full of water at 15,000,000 […]
This project entailed a Concrete Stack in a permanent structure. This concrete stack was a one-piece design and too large to remove without cutting an opening in the building. Also, to remove the Stack from the building would involve very large cranes on the exterior of the building, cost was […]
This project was very interesting, each floor of the tower had to be removed in sections. These sections had to meet the loads for a crane chart of a Liebherr LTM 1250-5.1. There were five floors to be removed at 215’-0” in the air. Demolition is always precarious; weights of […]
