Why we were contracted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ABL has been engaged to provide marine consultancy services during the Invitation to Tender (ITT) process for review and appraisal of the EPRD (Engineering, Procurement, Removal, and Disposal) contractor. The scope of work included a detailed assessment of the ITT submissions for the full removal of the jacket and topside combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client, who was undertaking its first decommissioning project, had an existing relationship with ABL, utilised this trusted partnership to engage ABL\u2019s technical capabilities to guide them through this unfamiliar territory. ABL provided support in providing technical and operational considerations as they transitioned from their operational mindset to one focused on construction and removals. ABL\u2019s extensive experience in heavy lifting and complex marine operations over the past 40 years ensured that key technical and operational documentation protected the interests of ABL\u2019s client.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABL played a key role in ensuring that safe and efficient methodologies for simultaneous complex marine operations, heavy lifts and decommissioning hook down work was, ensuring the ITT was fit for purpose. As part of the review team, ABL\u2019s involvement was instrumental in bridging knowledge gaps and de-risking the early stages of the decommissioning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
