The expanded group covered every need for oil and gas operators from the wellhead to the pipeline. In 2000, Allison Marine Fourchon was founded to fill a critical need in Fourchon with the installation of the 500-ton crane, “The Grua Grande” for Heavy Lift and marshaling services in support of Deepwater Development projects in the Gulf of Mexico.
