The Engineering Business (EB) has won its largest-ever contract, to supply a complete new J-Lay system for the Saipem FDS (field development ship). The J-Lay system is being designed for the installation of pipelines in deepwater, and with a maximum dynamic line tension of 1500tns, it will be one of the world’s largest J-Lay towers. EB is responsible for the design, manufacture, assembly, testing and delivery of the tower. The build will take place on Tyneside and Teesside in the UK and, following pre-delivery testing, it will be loaded onto a barge and shipped to Rotterdam where it will be commissioned onto the FDS.
