CSUB is proud to announce that we have been awarded the largest contract in our history in Norway.
We have secured an additional contract for the fabrication of glass reinforced polymer (GRP) protection covers for Subsea7 at Aker BP’s Yggdrasil development in the Norwegian North Sea, following an earlier award. This brings the total number of covers to be delivered for the Yggdrasil project to 300 units.
“We are proud that Subsea7 has chosen CSUB. This contract is a significant milestone for us, confirming the high quality of our covers and recognizing the excellent work of our fabrication team,” says Karsten Johannessen, VP Sales of CSUB. “The volume of covers is substantial, making this the largest contract CSUB has ever received in Norway. We are excited to begin production.”
Designed In-house, Fabricated by CSUB
For this project the client, Subsea7, has designed and engineered the covers themselves. CSUB will be responsible for the fabrication of the subsea covers, which will be manufactured at our facility.
“We have enjoyed excellent cooperation with Subsea7 and their in-house engineers across multiple projects over the years. In both previous and current projects, we manufacture based on their drawings and serve as a key supplier,” says Johannessen.
Although CSUB is a full EPC-supplier, this approach demonstrates our flexibility and commitment to adapting workflows to meet the specific needs of each client and project.
Protects Equipment from External Impact
The GRP subsea protection covers included in this contract are designed to safeguard subsea equipment and structures from external impacts such as dropped objects, trawl and anchor loads.
“The combination of strength and flexibility in the GRP material used for these covers provide unique properties to absorb energy from dropped objects and trawls. Additionally, the materials low weight offers significant benefits in terms of cost, installation vessel requirements and reduced impact on soft soil areas,” Johannesen explains.
