Gjoa Pump Packages Completed - August 2008
August 2008
The two skids, each weighing just under 30 Tonnes were shipped from Calder on 11 Aug 08.
Testing had all been completed and approved by the client in July. This involved several days of electronic and functional testing of all aspects of the skids' performance.
The skids had been installed into their final location on the platform in September 08.
The skids will be re-commissioned probably in late 2009, after which the platform will be towed to its planned location. Production is scheduled to start in Q3, 2010.
Calder has received many favourable comments from the client concerning the engineering & build quality.
Valhall CRI Pumps
August 2008
