VKVC was contacted to supply a 6 meter ANSI 900 clamp.The target delivery was 10 days on site. The weight of Clamp was 3800kg.
The Clamp Stiffener Forgings and Shell were available in inventory. Machining on CNC machines was completed in record short time. Clamp was welded, tested, painted and dispatched within 8 days.

Result
The Clamp installation was done manually by a Single diver at a time. The line has been safely operational with the 6 meter long Clamp.
