The structures comprised a 56-tonne Flowline End Termination (FLET), a 65-tonne Flowline End Manifold (FLEM) and an 81-tonne manifold, complete with integral spools, valves and subsea connectors.
As the structures were to be installed in the offshore field directly from loadout at Henderson, they required complete testing prior to loadout and were built to the most stringent quality standards. Factory acceptance testing (FAT and EFAT) activities were performed on all three structures within the Civmec assembly hall prior to loadout to the wharf, with oversight from Baker Hughes and Beach Energy.
Although the project timeline was significantly compressed with global material supply chain challenges, Civmec took an innovative approach to the sequencing of fabrication, assembly, building, coatings and testing processes, and succeeded in delivering the project to our exacting safety and quality standards, more than three weeks ahead of vessel loadout.
