Project Case: HID Jackup Barge Supports Offshore Bridge Construction Project of Conpax Company in Chile
Project Background:
Conpax is a highly influential large-scale construction company in Chile, with over 37 years of deep engagement in the local market. The company specializes in various engineering fields, including road construction, industrial infrastructure, water conservancy, and energy projects. In 2024, Conpax undertook a significant coastal infrastructure project. To ensure bridge deck installation and future vehicular passage, the company urgently required a stable and reliable offshore piling operation platform.
Client Requirements:
The client specifically requested a self-elevating platform capable of supporting a large crane for piling operations in a coastal environment. The platform needed to have high load-bearing capacity, a modular design for easy transportation, simple and safe operation, and be delivered and deployed within a short timeframe.
HID Solution:
Led by Mr. Alejandro, the project team from Conpax visited China in mid-2024 for a two-week on-site factory inspection. HID highly valued this cooperation opportunity and promptly organized a professional team comprising design, technical, and pre-sales experts. The team conducted a comprehensive assessment of the project's marine conditions, geological features, and the client's construction processes, and proposed a customized modular, fully hydraulic self-elevating platform solution.
Platform Specifications:
Dimensions: 30m × 20m × 2.5m
Load Capacity: 400 tons
Number and Length of Spud Legs: 4 × 36-meter positioning spuds
System Features: Modular structural design and fully hydraulic system control; adaptable to complex construction environments; easy to transport and assemble
This solution was highly recognized by the client for its excellent adaptability, professionalism, and construction efficiency, ultimately leading to a successful contract signing.
Project Delivery and Services:
The platform was successfully completed in October 2024 and delivered to Chile on schedule. HID immediately dispatched an experienced after-sales service team to the project site to provide comprehensive technical support, including:
On-site platform assembly and commissioning
Calibration of the hydraulic and control systems
Operator training and hands-on demonstrations
On-site technical assistance during project initiation
After the platform was successfully launched and operated stably, HID also committed to a one-year warranty and lifelong free technical support services. The client team highly praised the platform’s performance and HID’s professional services.
Project Outcome and Impact:
This cooperation not only met the high-standard construction needs of Conpax’s project but also showcased HID’s comprehensive capabilities in self-elevating platform design and manufacturing, customized solution delivery, and international service assurance. The successful implementation of this project further solidified HID’s reputation and influence in the South American market, laying a strong foundation for future expansion in the Latin American region.
