Case Study: GDF E17a-A Platform achieves safe offshore compressor module installation with Conbit

GDF E17a-A Platform installs 340 mT compressor module with Conbit

The customer, GDF E17a-A Platform, required the installation of a 340 metric ton compression module on their offshore platform in the North Sea. The challenge involved the complex offshore skidding and jacking of this large module into its final position beneath the helideck. Vendor Conbit was engaged to provide its specialized skidding and jacking services for this operation.

Conbit prepared the engineering, manpower, and certified equipment for the project. Their solution utilized two 15 mT winches to skid the module and four 150 mT hydraulic jacks to lift it to the specified height. The Conbit crew successfully executed the operations, resulting in the safe and smooth installation of the module. The project demonstrated Conbit's ability to perform heavy installation projects responsibly and all equipment was transported back to shore for future use.
