Aker Solutions, Kvaerner and Equinor celebrate the start of the fabrication for the second phase of the Johan Sverdrup development. This is Norway’s largest industrial project in three decades.

Aker Solutions has worked closely with Kvaerner in a 50/50 joint venture to support Equinor’s Johan Sverdrup Riser Platform modification project since May 2018. The scope of work includes engineering, procurement, construction and installation of a 5,000 metric-ton utility module, as well as modifications of the field center and integration of a second processing platform.

The utility module will be built at Kvaerner’s yard at Stord. The prefabrication for the module will be done by various subcontractors in Poland. Aker Solutions’ yard in Egersund will perform the prefabrication for the offshore integration.

“We are proud to deliver this giant industrial project together with Kvaerner and Equinor,” said Knut Sandvik, executive vice president, greenfield projects at Aker Solutions.

Peak manning for Aker Solutions will be approximately 300 employees.
