Denzai International Projects Co Ltd has completed heavy lifting works on the S-Oil Shaheen Project in Ulsan, South Korea – with zero incidents. To mark this milestone, the company was presented with an achievement award from contractor Hyundai Engineering & Construction.

For the project, Denzai International Projects – the Korean subsidiary of Japan’s Denzai K.K – conducted more than 200 heavy lifts, including components weighing 1,160.5 t – believed to be the heaviest lift by a crawler crane in South Korea – as well as lifts of 973 t and 902 t.

The S-Oil Shaheen Project is a US$7 billion development aimed to convert crude oil into petrochemical feedstock. Here, Denzai performed crucial heavy lifting work involving its LR12500-1.0 (2,500-t capacity) and LR11350 (1,350-t capacity) crawler cranes.

“Thanks to Denzai’s highly cooperative and safety-focused support, we were able to complete all heavy lifting works for the S-Oil Shaheen Project successfully and without incident,” said Hyunyoung Lee, project director at Hyundai Engineering & Construction (HDEC). “We are truly grateful to Denzai, and we sincerely hope to continue working together on future HDEC projects both in Korea and overseas.”

“The successful completion of the S-Oil Shaheen Project is a pivotal milestone for Denzai,” added Jeong Won Seo, country manager of Denzai International Projects, “strengthening our position not only in Korea but also as a global heavy lifting company. With this achievement, we must further solidify our organisation and set our sights on the global market – and we are confident in our ability to do so.”

Kohki Uemura, president and CEO of Denzai International Projects, commented, “We are extremely honoured to receive this award from this project, which is one of Korea’s leading large-scale plant construction projects. I am proud of the project team, who completed the construction on schedule without any accidents.”
