海角吃瓜网

McDermott has achieved a first of a kind in the valve industry; creating the world海角吃瓜网檚 largest forged body specialty valve, in collaboration with a leading valve manufacturer. The valves are destined for the INPEX operated Ichthys LNG project.

Each valve measures approximately 9 m in length and 7 m in height, and weighs more than 100 t. The first valve has been successfully tried and tested. The second valve is currently undergoing factory acceptance testing and is expected to be ready shortly. Once all six valves have passed factory testing, two will be installed offshore in 270 m of water, while the remaining four will be installed onshore, one at the landfall block valve and three at the processing facility at Bladin Point.

Jonathan Parkes, McDermott Senior Project Director, commented: 海角吃瓜网淭he Ichthys Project umbilical, riser and flowline infrastructure 海角吃瓜网� which will be installed at the Ichthys Field offshore Western Australia 海角吃瓜网� requires connection of the subsea riser base to the 42 in. gas export pipeline going to the onshore LNG processing facility. This meant that six 42 in. valves had to be specially designed and fabricated to meet the 40 year design criteria. To our knowledge, these are the world海角吃瓜网檚 largest, single piece forced, top entry ball valves海角吃瓜网�.

Tony Duncan, Executive Vice President, Subsea, said: 海角吃瓜网淭his is a great demonstration of client demand driving innovation, and through collaboration, team work and effective supply chain management, on a global scale, we have created a first in the industry海角吃瓜网�.
