⚓ Did you know what makes a jack-up barge so essential offshore? At first glance, this may look like just a barge being towed across the sea. In reality, our jack-up barge RIMA is a fully equipped construction platform. 🌊 Our jack-up barges work on a simple but powerful principle: 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 “𝗷𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘂𝗽” 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲. That stability makes it possible to carry out precise piling and foundation works, as well as safe heavy lifting during construction of jetties, berths and offshore structures. 🏗️ RIMA, pictured here sailing across the Indian Ocean, is part of BESIX’s integrated marine capability. It helps our teams mobilise quickly, work safely offshore, and deliver complex infrastructure - because not all critical infrastructure is built on land! #BESIX #MarineWorks #OffshoreEngineering #PortInfrastructure #DidYouKnow
