Jee worked with a leading Dutch installation contractor to deliver the detailed design for a 42 km, 14 inch pipeline with a 2 inch piggyback pipeline. No pre-FEED or FEED engineering had been completed and yet the client required a highly compressed schedule to meet production targets.
Line pipe orders were placed just 2 weeks after Jee began the design, and the pipeline installation was completed 6 months later, closely followed by installation of the tie-in spools. The schedule was made more challenging by the need to pre-dredge a channel through 15 km of large sand-waves so that effective pipeline burial could be achieved.
Jee provided 24 hour analysis support to the dredging vessel during the 4 week campaign to verify the acceptability of the dredging on a daily basis.
