InterMoor has been awarded a contract for design, fabrication and installation of 12 suction pile anchors, pre-set installation of 12 chain polyester chain mooring lines and hook-up of the LLOG Delta House production semi-submersible floating production system (FPS). The work will be conducted in the Mississippi Canyon Block 254, US Gulf of Mexico.
The project will involve suction pile design, fabrication and installation, followed by pre-set mooring installation and pre-set mooring hook-up of the FPS. The 12 piles will be 85ft long and 16ft in diameter, each weighing approximately 150 tonne. They are designed to be used as permanent anchors for the project. Installation activities are planned for mid-2014. Delta House will be moored in 4,500ft of water and is LLOG’s second Exmar-designed Opti deep-draft, semisubmersible production system in the region.
Fabrication of the 12 suction piles for the LLOG Delta House will take place at InterMoor’s 30,000sq ft Morgan City, Louisiana, facility.
