GCC REGION PROJECTS

12. MANAGEMENT PROJECT LIST - OTHER GLOBAL EXPERIENCE … Subcon Middle East FZE management team has undertaken many projects internationally.

The following section highlights just some of the higher profile projects undertaken in the past.

NON- GCC REGION PROJECTS

VESTAS/MAYFLOWER ENERGY - NORTH HOYLE OFFSHORE WINDFARM

CONSTRUCTION DIVING SUPPORT - 2003

Work was undertaken at the UK’s first Offshore Windfarm in support of the installation of two export cables and thirty “J” Tube installations.

The cable lay operation involved crossing a live 20” Gas Pipeline and two 3” Condensate Lines including the placement of high-tensile stone mattresses and bagworm. The cable was ploughed to within 100m either side of the Gas Line and the transitions were completed using airlifting and HP Water Jetting.

“J” Tubes were installed in readiness for the inter-turbine cable installations, and cable pulls were made for the two export cables at two turbines.

Work was carried out on a 24-hour basis using two eight man diving teams.

As well as diving operations on the project, a lot of work was carried out at height in respect of the cable pulls and rigging work.

CONSTRUCTION OF AIRBUS UK A380 WING LOAD-OUT FACILITY - CHESTER 2003/04

A contract was completed between November 2003 and April 2004 to construct a 65m length underwater grillage to facilitate the transportation of the giant Airbus A380 Wings by barge to the Port of Mostyn for onward sea transportation to France where final assembly takes place.

The work involved the cutting in black water of 24 No. 600mm O.D. Piles to 400mm above bed level to a tolerance of +/- 5mm. On completion the grillage was assembled in nine sections with 100 tonne S.W.L. crawler cranes used for placement. Finally, an air blast system was installed beneath the structure to keep it clear of silt.

The job was challenging due to the massive amount of silt and debris that was deposited on every tide. Tree trunks and other large items were required to be removed at the start of every shift just to gain access to perform construction work. This was in addition to the airlifting of up to 2m of silt.

The work was successfully carried out using a six man air diving team working on a 12-hour basis.

The project was high profile due to the nature of the new aircraft and UK government involvement, and was the subject of a Discovery Channel “Megastructures” documentary.

NON- GCC REGION PROJECTS

LONDON OFFSHORE CONSULTANTS LTD. COSTA CONCORDIA WRECK REMOVAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM - 2013

A contract was undertaken by Ruwailan Marine Contracting’s Director in 2013 on the Costa Concordia Wreck Removal Project, the largest project of it type to ever be attempted.

Services were provided as part of the Project Management Team working for the P and I Club (Client).

The workscope consisted of two phases as follows:

Phase 1

Full QHSE and Cost Control Auditing was undertaken of the commercial diving operations. The aim was for the client to get a better understanding of the enormous costs that were present and also for their representatives to suggest more efficient working practices for the installation of the 10,000 grout bags that were required as there was a considerable overrun on the project and this element of the construction work was critical path.

Phase 2

On completion of the auditing phase, work was undertaken onboard Micoperi 30 Heavy Lift Barge as a Client Representative. The barge was the platform for the drilling and pile installation for the large 1,400 tonne platforms that were installed, and that are currently supporting the wreck.

The drilling operation was challenging as we were required to drill vertically into a 65 degree slope of granite. Each template had nine piles and the platforms were installed on completion using a DP1 Heavy Lift Vessel.
