Port of Blyth
The Challenge
The Blyth works were completed before the rig sailed, and the team travelled out to Rotterdam to finish the connections on board the vessel, adhering to all safety requirements while travelling and working in the Netherlands.
Working 21 days at 12 hours per day, the team spliced and tested the multiple fibres on board to meet the timescales set, with the milestone delivered six days ahead of schedule and payment secured.
As the IHC project management team put it, the milestone involved almost every key party on site and its early completion was “a big team effort” that overcame issues along the way.
The Outcome
All required fibre connections were successfully commissioned and handed over, allowing the wider rig-conversion programme to move forward without disruption. The completed network provided the reliable communications infrastructure needed for the vessel’s ongoing operations.
Delivering the milestone six days early protected the project schedule and secured the associated payment. The result demonstrated the value of close coordination between every key party and strengthened confidence in the team’s ability to deliver critical offshore communications work under demanding conditions.
