During the Angola Block 15/06 East Hub development, AngoilBumi JV LDA needed a trusted partner to manage critical winch operations for the installation of flexible risers and an umbilical to the FPSO Armada Olombendo. The project required 24/7 offshore coverage, precise load monitoring, and seamless coordination to avoid delays.

EnerMech deployed a highly experienced team to operate and manage a 220-ton turret winch system. Our personnel delivered round-the-clock support, monitored load and payout data in real time, and ensured system integrity through regular inspections. By maintaining continuous operations and leveraging deep offshore expertise, we helped the client complete the tie-in phase ahead of schedule—with zero major delays.
