THE CHALLENGE

A high-cost project running to a demanding schedule with multiple contractors and suppliers – further complicated by dangerous seas, unpredictable weather patterns, cyclonic conditions, the world’s highest recorded wind speeds (400kms / hour), an A-class marine conservation reserve and strict quarantine management systems.

OUR SOLUTION

Working with construction delivery partners, Kellogg Joint Venture – Gorgon (KJVG) we engineered a number of innovative solutions and components – including the super fly and SPMT transport system – to address the logistics and construction challenges and provide greater coverage, flexibility and value to Chevron’s construction methodology.
