Viking Neptun Mobilisation

With the quality of tradesman, expertise, certified tooling and material experts, we were able to offer a reliable and timely solution to our client. We used TEXO-certified gas bottle cages to lift oxy-fuel gas onboard the vessel. This allowed us to cut the bulwark out on the side of the vessel to accommodate a chute that is welded to a grillage that we fabricated in our Port of Blyth facility.

We also used certified stillages in order to lift all tools, cables and equipment onboard safely and four certified stick welding machines/generators to provide quality welds and to power all our portable hand power tools.

The project took place during the pandemic, which meant it was challenging to provide all the correct materials and fabricate all three winch grillages to a high standard within the time frame.

Our work included a repair on a Subsea Construction Vehicle (SCV) which involved cutting away the damaged steel, fabricating new steel and welding it in place. This would enable the client to regain LOLER certification for the SCV.  After successfully fabricating, all winch grillages were installed and a dynamic load test was successfully carried out as well as 100% MPI with zero defects.
