AF Gruppen has, through its subsidiary AF Offshore Decom and in a consortium
with Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC), been awarded a contract for the
engineering, preparation, removal & disposal (EPRD) of a North Sea platform on
the UK Continental Shelf. This marks the second contract awarded to the
consortium within a short timeframe.
The scope of work includes removal of the topside facilities, weighing
approximately 38,500 tonnes.
The offshore platform surveys will commence immediately, followed by detailed
engineering and offshore preparatory works to be performed within the next six
years.
The topsides will be removed in a multi-year removal campaign by HMC's vessels
and transported to AF Environmental Base Vats for onshore dismantling, recycling
& disposal within the next eight years.
"This contract is a testament to the strength of the consortium and our
significant North Sea track record delivering safe and efficient EPRD solutions
for large and complex North Sea installations. We look forward to beginning this
important work, both offshore and onshore, which is rooted in our core
capabilities, with our consortium partner HMC and in close cooperation with our
client", says Lars Myhre Hjelmeset, EVP Offshore at AF Gruppen.
