Kvaerner and Aker Solutions will work integrated with Statoil and assist in all parts of the project execution. The scope will primarily consist of planning, management and hook-up of the seven platform modules, scheduled to arrive in Norway in second quarter 2018.
Kvaerner will formally operate as a subcontractor to Aker Solutions. The contract has an estimated value for Kvaerner of approximately NOK 450 million.
"We are very pleased to be awarded this project in cooperation with Aker Solutions. This is yet another confirmation of our experience and expertise within offshore hook-up and completion," says Terje Johansen, responsible for hook-up and completion in Kvaerner.
The project will commence in February 2017 and will in the preparation phase employ around 100 people. This work will be carried out in Stavanger. In the execution phase, starting summer 2018, up to 1 000 persons could be involved in the project.
