EB Wins Contract To Supply Complete J-Lay System October 2007 The Engineering Business (EB) has secured its largest-ever contract to supply a complete new J-Lay system for the Saipem FDS (field development ship). "This contract is enormous in every sense of the world," says EB's managing director, Dr Tony Trapp. "It most certainly strengthens our reputation as a leading supplier of pipelay systems. The J-Lay system is being designed for the installation of pipelines in deepwater, and with a maximum dynamic line tension of 1500 tonnes, it will be one of the world's largest J-Lay towers. The two-year project will make maximum use of our expanded resources together with the talents of the North East of England supply chain." EB is responsible for the design, manufacture, assembly, testing and delivery of the tower. The build will take place on Tyneside and Teesside and, following pre-delivery testing, it will be loaded onto a barge and shipped to Rotterdam where it will be commissioned onto the FDS. "EB is working closely with Saipem to develop innovative solutions and Saipem team members are based at EB for the project duration. Ours is a true partnership as we work together developing optimum solutions to the challenges facing us."  << back |
