\u2013 Because the tank is square, we've used thinner plates and considerably more welding than on a round tank. We've also had to use a cooler welding method in several places to avoid structural material changes, says the production coordinator at the workshop, Chris Bj\u00f8rklund.<\/p>\n

The tank is made of Duplex, which is a stainless steel with good corrosion resistance and high mechanical durability. It is 3.5 metres high and wide, and 10.4 metres long, and has three internal chambers with a total volume of 120 cubic metres.<\/p>\n

\"It needs to stand out on the platform and must withstand seawater. Before we transport it to the customer, the tank will be acid-treated outside the workshop,\" says Bj\u00f8rklund.<\/p>\n

WORKING ON<\/strong>\u00a0The refuelling started last autumn. Welders, fitters and platers have been hard at work.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Representatives from Aker Solutions, who are the customer, are coming to inspect the weld. After that, the tank will be leak tested before it is ready to be picked up by truck and then by boat to Kleven quay, says Bj\u00f8rklund.<\/p>\n

OFF PLATFORM<\/strong> Will the square tank be installed, along with the five other tanks that Halvorsen will deliver to the same project.<\/p>\n

\u2013 These other thoughts are all round and more like the ones we usually make here, says Bj\u00f8rklund, who praises the work done so far.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We have tremendously skilled people in the workshop. For this project, we have also hired labour from a local recruitment agency, and that has worked very well, he says.<\/p>\n
