Statoil has, on behalf of the Johan Sverdrup partners, awarded Aibel in Norway the contract for construction of the converter station at Haugsneset and required construction site work for land-based power supply to the field.
The contract covers engineering, procurement, construction site work, building of a converter station and installation of converter equipment.
The contract also includes trenching and laying of two sets of 300kV alternating-current cables from Kårstø to Haugsneset for both phases of the field development. Access roads must be built and a construction site measuring around 30 decares (7.41 acres) must be prepared for the converter stations for both phase 1 and phase 2. The converter equipment to be delivered by ABB Norge will be installed by Aibel.
The total contract value is about US$73.9 million (NOK 600 million) and is the last of the three major contracts covering the land-based power supply project. The engineering will be carried out at the Oslo office, while the construction site and building work will be managed by the construction site office at Haugsneset by Kårstø. The construction site work will be performed by Veidekke, as a sub-supplier to Aibel.
