Related Project Experience
A client was removing the existing vessel to replace with a smaller and more efficient vessel. BlueFin was called to make four (4) cold cuts at different locations on the vessel for ease of removal. The vessel was located beneath an overhead deck, and about eighty (80) feet away from the handrail, which didn’t allow for crane access.
An operator of a Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) offshore loading facility required mechanical torque value verification on multiple structural assemblies in order to abide by the manufacturer’s recommended specifications and standards.
An operator of an onshore Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) micro fuel facility sought integrated solutions from a single source contractor. Ongoing activities with multiple construction groups were working compressed schedules in order to ready the facility for a re-purposed product. Direct technical commissioning support became an value target during the early phase of project execution, as pressure testing and torque value verification for 600+ connection joints demanded specific expertise.
