Solution

A PIP with a 24’’ 36%Ni inner pipe allowed for fully constrained buried PIP. A U-value of 0,1 W/m2.K was provided.
First-class suppliers were selected for the procurement of the pipes, hot induction bends, bulkheads forged pieces, thermal insulation and leak detection system.
Our fabrication in yard in Normandy was mobilized for pre-fabrication of PIP.
Engineering and pre-fabrication were completed on a fast track basis, within 10 months from Purchase Order placement to FOB delivery.
