Rotor Containers

• Prevent sagging, deflection and mechanical damage
• Provide long term corrosion protection
• Enable safe lifting, transport and storage
• Meet offshore and international quality standards
• Integrate safety systems for pressure monitoring and control

The Challenge

Operators across offshore, oil and gas, and heavy process industries face a common challenge when storing or transporting rotors, pumps and gear assemblies. These assets are high value, precision engineered and highly vulnerable to corrosion, movement and deformation when left unsupported or exposed to tough environments.

Mayflower Engineering was commissioned to design and manufacture a series of bespoke N2 containers to protect critical rotating equipment during storage, shipment and installation preparation stages.

Mayflower’s Responsibility

Mayflower Engineering developed fully customised nitrogen pressurised containers built to suit each individual rotor, pump or gear assembly.

Each container was engineered with tailored internal supports and clamps to hold the equipment securely in position and prevent movement during transport or long term storage.

The container shells were fully sealed and nitrogen purged to create an inert internal environment, preventing corrosion and protecting sensitive surfaces.

Key design elements included:

• Containers manufactured to DNV and NORSOK standards
• Horizontal and vertical impact mountings
• Custom pressure control valves
• Load tested lifting points and transport stands
• Internal fixtures designed to suit each asset profile
