Veidekke ASA: Veidekke to build transformer station for oil platform
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Veidekke Entreprenør AS has signed a contract to build an onshore facility at
Kollsnes outside Bergen in connection with electrification of the Martin Linge
platform in the North Sea. The principal is Siemens, who has a contract for the
facility with Total E&P Norge AS. The value of this contract for Veidekke is NOK
150 million excluding VAT.
The contract is a turnkey contract where Veidekke will undertake planning,
groundwork and construction of the transformer station. The facility will send
high voltage alternating current (AC) through a 161 kilometre subsea cable to
the platform. This will be the world's longest cable of its type. The 55
megawatt effect of the cable corresponds to the power requirements of 24,000
homes.
"Electrification of the Norwegian continental shelf is in keeping with the
authorities' long-term goal to reduce CO2 emissions from the petroleum industry.
Martin Linge will be among the first platforms on the Norwegian continental
shelf that replaces all polluting gas turbines at sea with clean, renewable
energy from land," says project manager Kjell Skjølingstad with Veidekke.
Construction work is currently starting, and will be completed for testing of
the subsea cable in 2015.
