InterMoor, an Acteon company, has successfully completed a mooring and foundation installation campaign for bpTT’s Juniper gas project offshore Trinidad and Tobago. This is the largest foundation installation campaign offshore Trinidad and Tobago to date.
InterMoor provided engineering and design services to identify the most reliable and cost-effective mooring solution and performed configuration studies as part of the mooring analysis. The company designed and fabricated eight piles at its facility in Morgan City, La., and provided offshore project management services for the mooring preset campaign. This included installing the driven piles using H-Links and 305 m (1,000 ft) of ground chain per leg from the Boa Deep C construction vessel.
Trinidad restricts boat-to-boat transfers, so transporting the piles offshore was done using a single boat. The Juniper project was carried out in a water depth of 101 m (330 ft) with strong water currents.
The mooring solution engineering began in 2011 with the initial FEED study, and offshore installation was completed in early November 2014.
