Project Summary

 

Santos PNG program was another successful project executed in challenging environmental conditions.  The project team performed excellently in preparing the vessel, equipment and people for this job which is in a very remote area with extremely limited access to supply lines.  There was no room for error, and none was made.

Also notable for the project was the careful timing and planning of dive task plans – as the area is subject very strong tidal flows, so work plans had to be executed with minute accuracy to take advantage of the neap tide window.
