Tell us more about development of the<br />
single-weld philosophy?<br />
We knew that there was a requirement for<br />
a single-weld philosophy on this project,<br />
and this was almost unheard of for this<br />
size of project. The development was<br />
faced with a number of challenges, some<br />
of which included; PARs being fabricated<br />
simultaneously in various parts of the world;<br />
varying ambient temperatures to be managed<br />
and accounted for across the eight yards;<br />
and the lack of weld gap specification. These<br />
issues had the potential to introduce risk<br />
into the philosophy and the project, but we<br />
mitigated these from the outset.<br />
We used the facilities at our in-house Training<br />
Academy to system test mock–ups and<br />
prove survey methods that delivered the<br />
results needed. As part of this process we<br />
identified and actioned additional code<br />
to our proprietary mathematical survey<br />
software. It took approximately six months of<br />
development and testing before we submitted<br />
our proposal, with a fully developed survey<br />
methodology and supporting procedures.<br />
You must be pleased with the progress on<br />
the project to date?<br />
We knew that the development of a singleweld<br />
philosophy will be challenging, but<br />
Scopus is at the forefront of technology, and<br />
we knew that we could do it. We’re delighted<br />
that our input is proving so valuable to our<br />
customer, and very proud that our work on<br />
this project has set a benchmark for our<br />
industry.<br />
