The traditional way of installing large vessels has always been to employ the use of cranes. The Water Handling Debottlenecking Project team has, instead, made use of a different technology—employing a Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) to install nine vessels in situ. These SPMT units have many advantages over crane installations, such as safety and efficiency, not to mention lower costs due to their self-propelled capabilities.
