On the morning of September 9, 2020, the delivery ceremony of the M002 GTG generator module project built by CIMC Raffles Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd. ("CIMC Raffles") for PETROLEO BRASILEIRO S.A. ("Petrobras") was held in Haiyang CIMC Raffles Offshore Co. smoothly.
The M002 GTG project has two construction modules, each of which has a length of 29m, a width of 22m, a height of 34m, and a weight of approximately 1,400 tons. After completion, it will be installed on Petrobras P71 FPSO. The project officially kicked-off on November 8, 2019. Construction lasted about 9 months, involving 4 turbine generators’ inspection, assembly, and installation. During this period, the pipeline discipline first completed flange management and helium nitrogen test, and meanwhile overcame the perlite insulation, thermal spray aluminum anticorrosion, and electrical system pre-commissioning, etc. problems.
During the construction process, CIMC Raffles directly faced the challenge of the Covid-19. The team has been making all efforts to deliver the modules under the short construction period of the project and the lack of construction human resources. Mr. Ezekiel, the project manager of Petrobras, expressed his gratitude to the project team for their continuous efforts; especially the hard work in the last four months of the project is touching. Meanwhile, He affirmed the successful delivery of the project with 500,000 safe working hours and zero accidents of the project team, and expected to continue in-depth cooperation with CIMC Raffles in the future.
