Expansion Joints and Bellows Projects
Amec Foster Wheeler/Nexen
Platform:
Scott
Work Scope:
Rope access job as erecting scaffolding was not an option. We worked with CAN to complete this work scope.
Change-out an expansion joint on one of the three turbines on Scott.
The other two turbines had to remain on during the work scope. So first task was to install heat blankets on the other two turbine exhausts to protect our workforce changing out the expansion joint.
Change-out expansion joint was then completed.
Chevron
Platform:
Alba
Work Scope:
Change out of circular expansion joint on a John Brown turbine exhaust WHRU.
CNR
Platform:
Murchison
Work Scope:
Change out of rectangular expansion joint on a Rolls Royce turbine exhaust.
Chevron
Platform:
Alba
Work Scope:
Change out of John Brown air inlet expansion joint.
Maersk
Platform:
GP3 FPSO
Work Scope:
Change out of gas turbine exhaust expansion joints.
Shell Nigeria
Platform:
Sea Eagle FPSO, Nigeria
Work Scope:
Change out of nine Solar turbine exhaust expansion joints across 5 turbines.
AB Mauri
Platform:
Yeast Factory, Milan, Italy
Work Scope:
Change out of typhoon gas turbine exhaust expansion joint.
Shell
Platform:
Gannet Alpha
Work Scope:
Change out of six exhaust expansion joints around WHRU’s across two gas turbines.
Nexen
Platform:
Scott
Work Scope:
Change-out inlet expansion joint on LM5000 turbine.
Shell UK
Platform:
Shearwater
Work Scope:
Change-out of two expansion joints on a Solar turbine exhaust.
Roof expansion joint – fully EJ assembly was changed out.
WHRU expansion joint – changed out the fabric only.
Repsol Sinopec
Platform:
Tartan
Work Scope:
Change-out blown exhaust expansion joint on the three Siemens TB5000 on Tartan.
Talisman specifically requested our expertise as they had attempted to progress themselves but could not manage it themselves.
Total
Platform:
Elgin PUQ
Work Scope:
Worked with Total to devise an overall maintenance plan to change-out all ‘Failed or failing’ expansion joints based on BSV recommendations. This was based on planned shutdowns of the turbines so completed over multiple trips.
Changed-out c6 expansion joints (to date).
Genser Energy, Ghana
Platform:
Goldfields Tarkwa Gold Mine, Tarkwa, Ghana
Work Scope:
BSV were asked to supply materials and a Supervisor to work with local the local Ghanaians and the Chinese Main Contractor to fabricate and fit three Exhaust Expansion Joints for three new Solar Mars GT Packages being installed as part of a new Power Plant to provide a consistent and reliable power supply for the mines operations. The high temperature bellows were shipped by BSV from the UK and the steelwork was sourced locally and the frames fabricated on site.
