ONSHORE, OFFSHORE

With the UK’s largest fleet of specialist flat-top barges and an in-house inventory of heavy lifting equipment – we believe we can overcome any heavy lifting challenge, anywhere.

There’s no such thing as a standard approach to heavy lifts, although many projects benefit from tried-and-tested solutions. Working onshore and off, these are just some of the in-house resources we can tap into to design a fully-engineered solution for your next move or installation…

CranesCrawler cranes, mobile cranes – CC3800, LT1750, CC2400, LT1800(D) …

SPMTAn extensive fleet of SPMTs, now including the Z390 Euro5 compliant powerpack…

Experience and equipment

Whatever equipment you need, you still want the right people planning those specialist logistics: making sure the kit is all used to best effect. For us, true success means hands-on collaboration that reveals unexpected value for our clients – be that savings on cost or time, or even finding a better way to deliver the project overall.

INNOVATIVE SHIPBUILDING SOLUTION

An ingenious solution for an everyday challenge.

When existing transport can’t ship our heavy lift cranes (our LTM1800 and LG1550), we still find a way to reach the site.

HPC – RPV installation

RPV DELIVERY – A STATIC, DYNAMIC SOLUTION

At Hinkley Point C, we've developed a RORO solution that delivers oversized assets to site in a new way – increasing productivity across the construction site.

Tintagel Bridge installation

Award-winning assets, innovation in action

The new English Heritage walkway at Tintagel is an award-winning installation. Our solution overcame many obstacles associated with overland delivery to this outlying location.

Problem-solving for Petrochem

Problem-solving for Petrochem

Minimal downtime for a petrochemical site is critical and our approach kept our operations down to a minimum.

PRIORITISING QHSE IN LOGISTICS

Osprey's QHSE team guides all we do

Ellie, one of our QHSE Officers, works specifically on specialist logistics for Hinkley Point C. This puts her at the heart of delivering nuclear success.

RESPONSIVE, RELIABLE PORT SERVICES

Vessel owners trust for Port Services.

RORO, breakbulk, containers, oversized cargoes – along with all the documentation, negotiable Bills of Lading, inventory-linked and non-inventory linked customs entries and supporting services.

RESPONSIVE CABLE SERVICES

Safely accelerating offshore project schedules

Knowing our equipment, having in-house expertise, if we can reduce the time taken to deliver a project – we will.

NETWORK RAIL, BEWSEY STREET

Jacked lifting solves location problems.

Rail bridges are often in challenging locations. See how we deployed our Enerpac JS250 system to overcome these problems.

HPC POLAR CRANE DELIVERY

Collaboration reduces risks and costs.

We bring multiple specialist logistics' partners together – a great example of this can be seen in the delivery of two Polar Crane Beams in to HPC.

UPGRADING M4 MOTORWAY BRIDGES

Reducing possession times.

Getting involved early and having the in-house heavy lift equipment to guarantee supply surety – it all makes a difference for projects of this scale.

HPC WORLD’S LARGEST STEAM TURBINE

Early planning builds efficiencies into logistics.

Through early contractor engagement and our repeatable Shared Services model, we reduce risks and costs in the delivery of critical assets to large sites.

UNIQUE TIDAL TURBINE LOGISTICS

Our transferable skills and marine heritage inspire unique solutions.

Such as this end-to-end project plan to load-out Orbital's 02 – the world's most powerful tidal turbine.

NETWORK RAIL, RIVER STOUR

Reducing risk and rail possession times.

Our teams have pioneered installation techniques that reduce risk for other suppliers, and possession times for clients.

DELIVERING ULTIMATE DIESEL GENERATORS

Supply chain complexity is never a problem.

Working with overseas partners, we mitigate the risks for transporting critical infrastructure to the UK – in this case, to Hinkley Point C.

SEACOMBE FERRY TERMINAL

Unique lift using floating crane barge.

Tidal phases made this challenging, but this is where our in-house marine, heavy lift and civil engineering expertise come to the fore.

NETWORK RAIL, WARRINGTON BRIDGE

Flexibility overcomes unexpected challenges.

Collaborative working lets us use different approaches to handle problems – things like adopting mechanical aids during the pandemic.

NETWORK RAIL, PENSTONE BRIDGE

Identifying a turntable lift saves time.

This approach is just one of the ways we seek to reduce possession times, overcoming the challenges of confined spaces for heavy lifts.

MARINE ENGINEERING INNOVATION

Innovation? Sometimes the best solution is the simplest.

We use our marine engineering insights to find the best way of moving and installing assets.

UPGRADING UK RAIL

Joined-up heavy lifting ensures on-time delivery.

Manufactured overseas, our client's locomotives couldn't be transported by rail. We engineered a safe, heavy lift that ensured an on-time delivery.

NETWORK RAIL, WHALEY BRIDGE

Turntables and SPMTs overcome challenges.

When the space available is less than ideal, we find a new way to move the heaviest loads.

JLR CABLE-SPAN BRIDGE

Early involvement means we can deliver in-built efficiency.

Jacking, moving and installing this cable-span bridge at the JLR works is a great example of the Osprey Way of Working…

MANCHESTER AIRPORT BRIDGE INSTALLATION

Early planning is essential

Our collaborative approach factors in unusual considerations, such as flight paths and radar…

Cable movements

Problem solving for safe cable movements

Moving a full inventory of array cables from the UK to a new storage facility in the Netherlands.

NETWORK RAIL, GYPSY PATCH LANE

Reducing risk and rail possession times.

Our teams have pioneered installation techniques that reduce risk for other suppliers, and possession times for clients.

END-TO-END TOWHEAD LOGISTICS

Overcoming challenges for end-to-end towhead logistics.

Our client needed several towheads shipping out, and our fully-engineered solution solved several problems.

Bahr Essalam Barge Support

End-to-end barge services

HPC LOGISTICS: TUNNEL BORING MACHINES

Port-to-site logistics for nuclear construction.

Tunnel boring machine logistics provided valuable learnings – not only for HPC, but also for other clients needing port-to-site transport on this scale.

DUMBARTON RAIL BRIDGE REPLACEMENT

Delivering rail infrastructure safely and efficiently.

We invented a way to remove and replace railway bridges faster and safer – reducing the usual installation time for projects of this kind.

SUPPORTING NATIONAL GRID

Better logistics – delivered by sea, not road.

Our equipment and engineers make innovative logistics possible, and we work in partnership to reduce costs and timeframes.
