Brent Spar Dismantled - Stavanger,
Norway
The challenge to the customer
In one of Norway’s many fjords,
sits the famous Brent Spar. A floating structure, originally
anchored in the North Sea, it was made largely of concrete and
steel and served as a crude oil storage tank and loading buoy.
After years of discussion, controversy and finally a decision, the
Brent Spar was towed and dismantled in Norway with large parts of
it used to build a roll-on, roll-off ferry quay structure.
Aggreko's solution
At the start of the project, two
150kW generators were installed for the preparation period, and
later three 400kW generators were provided during the 18-week
dismantling period.
The benefits to the customer
Aggreko was actively involved in
all phases of the life cycle of the platforms, from construction to
eventual dismantling, providing a turnkey solution and continual
support to the customer.
