Brent Spar Dismantled - Stavanger, Norway
The challenge to the customer
In one of Norway’s many fjords, sits the famous Brent Spar. A
floating structure, originally anchored in the North Sea, it was
made largely of concrete and steel and served as a crude oil
storage tank and loading buoy. After years of discussion,
controversy and finally a decision, the Brent Spar was towed and
dismantled in Norway with large parts of it used to build a
roll-on, roll-off ferry quay structure.
Aggreko's solution
At the start of the project, two 150kW generators were installed
for the preparation period, and later three 400kW generators were
provided during the 18-week dismantling period.
The benefits to the customer
Aggreko was actively involved in all phases of the life cycle of
the platforms, from construction to eventual dismantling, providing
a turnkey solution and continual support to the customer.
