Xodus Group has secured a contract for the vibration assessment and analysis on the oil train piping and structures for Zakum Development Co. at Zirku Island, 140km northwest of Abu Dhabi.
The work, valued at over US$600,000, will pull in services from Xodus’ process, piping, instrumentation and structural teams. The 24-week project will include a front end engineering design (FEED) scope of work
With its advanced oil and gas installations, Zirku is considered the main industrial base for the processing, storage and export of oil from the Upper Zakum, Umm Al-Dalkh and Satah fields.
In recent months, Xodus’ vibration engineering team has also won a number of other contracts in the Middle East.
The company secured a three-year contract to deliver rotating machinery condition monitoring services with rotating machinery vibration analysis and risk management.
Xodus has also been awarded work to investigate two vibration issues on sulphur recovery units in Abu Dhabi. The work will be split into two phases: phase one for the site survey vibration investigation and phase two to engineer solutions to eliminate or reduce the vibration concerns once the root cause has been identified.
