Making a new deck hatch for the platform
The deck hatch from Tratec Halvorsen will be an important part of the fire protection on the platform deck.
- The hatch is 2.5 by 2.5 metres, and will be mounted on a platform on the Gina Krogh field, says head of fabrication, John Vester Nielsen.
Gina Krog has been developed with a fixed platform, which is connected to Sleipner A and uses both process capacity on the platform and existing pipelines to send the gas on to the market in Europe.
The oil from the field is transported via a storage ship located on the field, which is operated by Equinor.
- We got this job through a collaboration we have with the company Firesafe, which works with fire protection. As Firesafe does not have its own mechanical production, we were asked to make the deck hatch, says Nielsen.
This is the second deck hatch Tratec Halvorsen has produced. Nielsen hopes that it will not be the last.
- We are well equipped in the workshop to take on this type of assignment, he says.
