J-TUBE and Riser for D15-A

For this project, we were commissioned to manufacture a J-tube with riser for the D15-A jacket. These items are a part of the landing of the pipeline and umbilical. The scope of the project also included the tie-in of the pipeline to the platform and modifications to the platform, as well as the new platform extension, piping and supports to be manufactured and installed. All work was for the D12-B silimanite project.

Due to the exotic material used for the piping in the project, welding qualifications were required to show that we have the knowledge and skills to perform the welding work. Planning was crucial due to the scope and various subcontractors being used. During the project, it was adjusted once and then the total scope was accomplished according to the new schedule.
