Acteon companies to support platform installation off Trinidad and Tobago

The joint proposal from MENCK and LM Handling, both Acteon Group companies, has been selected to support piling operations for a platform installation off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago.

Acteon said on Monday that the project would draw on equipment and services provided by MENCK’s U.S.-based rental fleet.

According to the company, MENCK’s MHU 550S and an MHU 800S hammers are joined by LM Handling’s internal lifting tools.

Eskild Foeh, MENCK sales manager, said: “MENCK maintains part of its fleet of rental hammers in the region to support projects and developments on a timely and cost-effective basis”.

Ivan Harnett, Acteon market development leader for the Caribbean region, added: “This project continues MENCK’s long-standing history of supporting offshore and marine development projects in Trinidad and the wider Caribbean region”.

Acteon did not disclose any other details regarding the project, like the name of the platform, the customer or any financial aspects of the deal.
