Mobilizing Alaskan Innovation: A Custom Mounted Solution for North Slope Drilling
When a drilling company operating in Alaska’s unforgiving North Slope approached us with an ambitious vision, Accusteel delivered a custom heavy haul trailer solution designed to meet the extremes. Within four months, we engineered and manufactured a fully custom OEM trailer system that transformed how a mobile-mounted drilling rig could be transported and deployed without relying on cranes or conventional disassembly.
The Challenge
Our client needed to trailerize a complete drilling rig, compressing multiple buildings and systems into a mobile configuration that could move like a Tetris tower across the Arctic. The operation required a solution that could:
- Eliminate the need for complex rig dismantling and reassembly
- Integrate seamlessly with existing rig engineering
- Meet stringent environmental and containment standards
- Travel safely on remote ice roads
The Solution
We engineered a fully custom trailer system from the ground up, with every element purpose-built to suit this rig and its Arctic operating environment. Our team worked closely with the client’s engineers to ensure exact alignment with equipment specs, load points, and mobility needs.
The result was an OEM transport system with the following key features:
- Modular Custom Trailer Design: Engineered to support and transport a towering 100+ ft mobile rig safely and efficiently
- Built-In Spill Containment: Integrated directly into the trailer structure to meet strict environmental standards
- Winterization Features: Wind walls and Arctic-grade tarping created a weather-resistant mobile shelter suitable for subzero conditions
- Transport Flexibility: Designed to break down into modular sections for overland delivery from Alberta to the North Slope
More than a trailer, this project delivered a site-ready platform tailored for extreme operations.
The Results
In just four months, we delivered a complete solution that transformed a complex logistical challenge into a streamlined deployment process. The mobile-mounted rig could now be transported and set up on-site with minimal equipment, reducing environmental risk and dramatically reducing operating time. What had once required a full dismantle with cranes and multiple trucks could now roll in as one cohesive unit.
