The seawater dump caisson including steel structure was designed, fabricated and delivered for the Alvheim development in 2006.
The dump caisson has an inner diameter of 1200 mm, a total length of 20 m and is manufactured from glass fiber reinforced Epoxy.
Total weight of the dump column, including the steel structure, is 6.54 tons. The installation was carried out with a single-point lift from a blind flange on top with a 450 mm pipe spool for seawater supply mounted.
