Significant Project Wins for Aquatic in the Gulf of Mexico

Aquatic Engineering & Construction Ltd, an Acteon company, has mobilized two projects in the Gulf of Mexico. Both projects build toward the company’s value proposition focused on strength in depth and development of Aquatic’s growth in the Americas market.

The first project involved installing steel flying leads incorporated into the subsea distribution system. For this project Aquatic utilized its 120Te modular drive system, which was based out of Aquatic’s operational yard in Morgan City, Louisiana. The project was executed offshore by Aquatic’s local support staff during the installation campaign. This project is currently underway and will be completed in mid-2016.

The second project uses Aquatic equipment also based out of Morgan City to install a deepwater umbilical. The project is another example of Aquatic’s full solution offered in-country to minimize both mobilization costs and project delivery time. Aquatic’s 500Te reel drive system and 50Te 4-track tensioner system were deployed to safely handle the installation of the umbilical. The project created unique challenges which included complex equipment deck layout plans and handling of the product. A team of six Aquatic Offshore Supervisors and Operators were mobilized to support the client’s offshore operations.

Aquatic’s managing director, Martin Charles commented, “Aquatic is a UK company that promotes the principal of local people for local jobs and this global and local philosophy is already at work in our bases in Singapore. We believe by supporting local economies, we can develop long term relationships in strategic places around the world and these diverse projects gave us the opportunity to take this step for the US market. Aquatic focuses on the added value necessary to slot seamlessly into the organization of our customers, offering engineering support and equipment which is designed and built to provide reliability and capability for flexible product solutions. This allows our specialist teams of people to support the installation, recovery and replacement of reelable products offshore. Aquatic’s strength in depth means our partners can be confident that working with us will deliver their projects safely with proven solutions in deepwater applications.”
