Dump caisson for seawater including steel support structure has been designed, fabricated and delivered to Alvheim field development project in 2006.
Dump caisson has an internal diameter of 1200 mm, a total length of 20 m and is manufactures from glass fibre reinforced epoxy.
The total column weight, including steel support structure, is 6,54 tons. The Installation was done by a single point lift operation from the column blind flange top with the 450mm seawater inlet pipe spool installed.
