This paper describes the fabrication and installation of the offshore facilities for the Nansen and Boomvang projects. The paper will review the benefits realized from building and installing two nearly identical facilities on an aggressive project schedule. We will describe the fabrication of the hulls at Mäntyluoto Works in Pori, Finland and the decks at J. Ray McDermott in Morgan City, Louisiana. The offshore program will be detailed from the mooring pile installation through the uprighting of the hulls and setting of the topsides. The team solutions to challenges associated with the coordination of fabrication and installation activities and schedules will be described.
