Mammoet Chosen as Part of ExxonMobil's Beaumont, Texas, Refinery Expansion, an Industrial Info Market Brief

---

Mammoet has been awarded the heavy lift and transport scope for Exxon Mobil Corporation's (ExxonMobil) refinery expansion in Beaumont, Texas. The expansion will increase the facility's crude refining capacity by 250,000 barrels per day, with completion planned for 2022.

Mammoet will be responsible for the barging, transport and setting of modules up to 3 million pounds, as well as several reactors and columns weighing up to 2.5 million pounds. The pieces will be transported by means of self-propelled modular transporter (SPMT), and later set using Mammoet's LR13000, the world's largest crawler crane.

John Rowe, project sales director for Mammoet Americas, states, "We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity share our expertise and experience for the upcoming expansion project. The heavy lift and transport development strategy we have shared with TechnipFMC [the project's engineering, procurement and construction provider] and ExxonMobil will allow us to provide an efficient solution and offer the best possible execution strategy for this project. We are very thankful for the opportunity and are eager to build upon our methods to ensure we perform above expectations for our customers."
