Project overview

Installation gas pipeline, Takoradi

Late November 1998 Boskalis was awarded a subcontract for the installation of two marine pipelines to supply and discharge cooling seawater for the Takoradi thermal power plant that was under construction for the Volta River Authority, near the village of Aboadze approximately 20 kilometers north-east of Takoradi, Republic of Ghana.

Re-insulation Gannet 'C' Bundles, North Sea

The Gannet 'C' satellite field, which is located in the North Sea at 112 miles East of Aberdeen in 95-meter water depth, comprises four drill centres, each having one or more producing wells. The drill centres are connected to the local platform Gannet 'A' by four flowline bundles with a total length of 10 kilometers. A glycol-based gel, filling the annulus of the Gannet 'C' carrier pipe, insulated the individual flow lines. Prompted by degradation of the gel and the resulting drop in oil and gas arrival temperatures at the platform, an EPIC project took off for a re-insulation system. The objective of the re-insulation system was that it should provide sufficient insulation to the bundles in order to safeguard production during the total field life of Gannet 'C', being a minimum lifetime of 15 years. Boskalis Offshore was supported by Hydronamic - the in-house engineering department.

Land reclamation, Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Causeway

The Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Causeway is located in the State of Bahrain in an expanse of water called the Khawr Al Qulayah. It connects the Hidd Drydock Highway to the Mina Sulman Port. This major infrastructure project is carried out in advance of the planned expansion of the Bahrain port activities. This New Port project is planned at the Hidd side and via the Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Causeway direct connected with the existing Mina Sulman port and Saudi Arabia. The total length of the Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Causeway is approximately 6,500 m, including a bridge of 400 m, which was constructed in 2000.

Land reclamation Check Lap Kok airport Hong Kong

In 1996 Hong Kong was a modern city-state with almost 6 million inhabitants where air traffic was a very important component for economic activity. The old airport Kai Tak, with a single runway, was no longer able to cope with the growing number of passengers and amount of freight.  The authorities decided to build a new, bigger airport at a new location in Hong Kong, a 350 hectares hilly island off the coast about 28 km west of the city center.
