TENSION LIFT FRAME

Innovative design suits coiled tubing and intervention

operations on MODUs

ICONs Tension Lift Frames (TLF) enable the successful

deployment of the down-hole completion tubing string
and tubing hanger in the well head, and coiled tubing
operations in MODUs.

Our TLF range is a fully tested, field proven integrated

system which has been used in a number of successful
well developments. When considering sourcing a
tension lift frame, the following advantages make
our product the logical choice:
Safety: ICONs TLF range has been designed with
safety in mind, and has a proven track record of
being easy and safe to install. It has been utilised on
numerous rigs for different clients, and time and
again has been safely rigged up and rigged down.
Rig-up Time: Minimising rig downtime is the single
most effective method of reducing overall project
costs. We believe that ICONs TLF achieves the
minimum rig downtime of any tension lift frame
currently available on the market. Our design has
been refined to enable quick and easy rig up and rig
down whilst complying with the most stringent
safety standards. Our system has been proven to

achieve a critical path rig up time of 3 to 4

hours.
Reliability: ICON has developed a fully tested, field
proven system. By following our maintenance
schedule, you can be sure that our TLF will be
certified and ready for deployment whenever it is
required.
Adaptability: Our system, although fully developed,
can be easily adapted to create differing working
windows, to allow access at varying levels, and to
interface with different surface test trees and
travelling blocks, giving the customer the flexibility of
requesting a unique solution if required. We have the
engineering resources and experience to adapt our
design to suit your requirements, without taking
away the peace of mind that comes from selecting a
field proven and tested system.
Quality: Our system is designed and fabricated to
meet stringent quality standards. ICON is an ISO
9001 quality accredited company that has a fully
integrated management system that encompasses all
aspects of project quality assurance and control. We
have experience in working with 3rd party verifiers,
including DNV, Lloyds and Bureau Veritas, in order
to meet all relevant code requirements.

Storage: Deck space is almost always an issue on a
rig. By utilising individual components such as bail
arms and spreader beams, our TLFs minimise the
amount of deck space required whilst still achieving
the large working windows that are typically
required.
Proven Experience: ICON has extensive experience
in the design and manufacture of TLFs. We have
worked with the high strength steels required to
interface with high strength, alloy steel bail arms,
and have developed a fabrication methodology that
alleviates any concerns about fatigue or microcracking.
We
understand
the
operational
requirements present in the offshore oil and gas
industry.

HSE
AND
DOCUMENTATION STANDARDS, ARE ON BUDGET
