Land reclamation and revetments works, Salam Yiti

Salam Yiti is located near the south of Muscat, about 40 minutes away from Muscat’s international airport, and minutes from the traditional business and hotel district of Qurum. The Salam Yiti development covers 420 hectares of land and climbs as high as 140 meters above sea level. The project is being developed at a cost of USD 1.7 billion. It was scheduled for completion by 2013. The development plan features luxury hotels, state-of-the-art spas, exclusive villas and apartments, and luxury townhouses set on the beach and in the mountains and select shopping and dining outlets, all surrounded by a championship golf course, marina, a wellness and eco-marine center.

Dredging, reclamation and
shore protection, Soyo LNG

Angola is one of the world’s deep water oil exploration ‘hot spots’. More than 50 significant oil discoveries in Blocks 14, 15, 17 and 18 are believed to contain at least 10 billion barrels of oil. With the increase in oil production comes large quantities of associated gas. Historically, in the absence of a local market, associated gas has been flared or reinjected into the reservoirs. Sonangol, the state oil company, and some of its oil producing partners developed the Angola LNG Project to reduce flaring of gas and curtail gas injection. Angola LNG is a joint venture project involving the major oil producers in the country. Sonangol and Chevron are the co-leaders of the project; the other partners are Total, ENI and BP.

Port expansion, Ras Laffan

The Ras Laffan project is one of the largest maritime engineering projects in the world. Its sheer size can best be viewed from space. Over a period of three years, more than 3,000 specialists have been working together to create the largest LNG harbor in the world. The total contract value is approximately USD 2 billion, with the Boskalis share amounting to 50%. Qatar has natural gas reserves of roughly 25 trillion m3, 15% of the world total. The gas is transported from the Offshore North Field (26,000 billion m3), 80 kilometers north of Qatar, into Ras Laffan, where it is liquefied and pumped into latest generation tankers.

Channel deepening, Melbourne

To maintain its position as number one container and general cargo port in Australia, the Port of Melbourne Corporation (PoMC) proposed a plan to make the port accessible to 14m draught vessels during all tidal phases. Following the selection of a partner in April 2004 an Alliance Agreement was developed between PoMC and Boskalis Australia Pty Ltd, i.e, a contract where risk sharing was the norm and Boskalis could provide advice during the project development phase using its ‘in house’ expertise and experience.

Installation gas pipeline, Baydaratskaya Bay

The Baydaratskaya Bay Project is located in the Kara Sea in the North of Russia. The Kara Sea is bordered on its western side by Novaya Zemlya and on the east by the North Siberian Coast. Baydaratskaya Bay is located in the south of the Kara Sea between the Ural Coast and the Yamal Peninsula. Yamalgasinvest (Gazprom) is planning the construction of four pipelines and two cable crossings at Baydaratskaya Bay for the exploitation of the Bovanenkova and Harasawejskoje gas field on the Yamal Peninsula.
