Korean challenge for YABIMO

In April 2014, we started a challenging task, which involves measuring works in South Korea. About 40 people, were involved in the project phase. Their task was to measure and prepare documentation drawings concerning 700 insulation boxes intended for valves and flanges. Our employees worked in the Korean yard that belongs to the leader and producer of heavy steel structures – Samsung. They worked on the FPSO vessel: Petrojarl Knarr.

Next step in the project

Our involment in project in Haugesund, was a combination of work with new build, demolition, and life extension (hull, marine systems, and topsides) required for the FPSO to be kept on the field for 25 years without drydocking.
YABIMO involved 172 specialists for the final installation in Norway.: insulation fitters, prefabrication workers, foremen, industrial painters.
