Simulation exercises are a particular feature of GL Noble Denton's most complex transport and installation projects. These exercises are a vital way of learning prior to project delivery, facilitate risk-free scenario planning, improve team communication and ensure more accurate contingency plans can be developed.
GL Noble Denton has pioneered cost-effective installation of platform decks via floatovers using dynamically positioned vessels as well as developed the more traditional float-over techniques. This installation method is highly cost-effective and minimises offshore risk and exposure. GL Noble Denton handles the entire operations, including design, procurement and offshore operations management and execution, and has more experience of these operations than any other organization. In the last few years GL Noble Denton has been directly involved in the following float-overs:
- Bunga Raya A (Moored with DP Assistance)
- Bunga Raya E (Moored with DP Assistance)
- Rong Doi (DP)
- EGP-3A (Moored)
- Bunga Orkid A (DP)
- Umm Shaif CSP-1 (DP)
Umm Shaif UAP (DP) - Umm Shaif CP-1 (Moored)
- Maersk BE (DP)
- Maersk BG (DP)
GL Noble Denton's independence is key to our transportation and installation service. GL Noble Denton does not own marine equipment; therefore our focus is on developing the most effective solution for our clients rather than being influenced by availability or utilisation of equipment or vessels.
