The associated subsea pipeline, PLEM and other equipment will also be replaced.
InterMoor will be responsible for the installation engineering, procedures, equipment and manpower for the SPM. The design work will include a 6-leg mooring system of driven piles and chain, that will be pre-installed. InterMoor will work with sister companies MENCK and LM Handling, both specialists in driving subsea piles.
