In September 2019 Nautec provided engineering consultancy and supplied NaX® Materials and offshore grouting services for PETRA RESOURCES WLDP-WLP Bridge Chord Grouting Project.  

Objectives

  • Grouting of tubular top chord and adjoining brace sections to strengthen connecting bridge

Project Scope

  • Engineering consultancy and advise on location of inlets and strengthening design
  • Supply of grouting inlets
  • Supply of materials and manpower for grouting service for 3 chord grout infills

Services

  • Supply of grouting materials and manpower for grouting services for a total of three 10” chord grout infills over a length of 28m.

Challenges 

  • Operationally challenging as bridge is often used and execution window was short. Also, mobilisation was achieved in just 2 weeks.
  • Spread was located over 80m away from the platform.

Solutions

  • Coordinate with the client to identify sufficient access window and execute efficiently.
  • Use of buoyancy collars to stop hose sagging in the water and provide plenty of contingency hoses.
