| Work Detail |
Dutch energy and dredging services provider Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. has been awarded two offshore contracts with a combined value of approximately EUR 85 million ($94.8 million).
Boskalis said on Tuesday that it had won a deal for a four-kilometer-long gas pipeline, which would be installed on the seabed offshore Denmark.
The company added that the contract was awarded by Danish Energinet Gas-TSO and that the 36-inch gas pipeline would be laid from Jutland to Funen in the Lillebaelt of Denmark.
The project includes the pre-trenching, pipe-pull, cofferdam construction, and post-lay rock installation to protect the pipeline.
According to the company, a novelty for this project is the requirement to have a bend in the pipeline for which a guiding roller system will be applied.
The project involves multiple disciplines from within the Boskalis group requiring a trailing suction hopper dredger, fallpipe vessel, and backhoe dredger.
The second contract won by Boskalis was for work on the Yunlin offshore wind farm in Taiwan. The company will carry out the scour protection of turbine foundations using 325,000 tons of rock sourced from local quarries.
The company also stated that the execution of both projects was scheduled to take place in 2020. |
