In addition, proximity to the production became a decisive factor. Leirvik AS has very good experience with Nordic Steel from previous projects where we have received goods of highest quality," says Skjalg Myklebust, project manager for Jotun A in Leirvik AS.
The solid cooperation is also emphasized by Nordic Steel's department head.
-We have had a very close cooperation with Leirvik on several previous projects and look forward to the cooperation also at Jotun. Production of HVAC ducts and various other equipment for Jotun is already underway," explains Thor Erik Hebnes of Nordic Steel.
Nordic Steel is leading in the production of HVAC ductsand equipment. Quality, delivery precision and competitive prices are key to the company holding this position. Customers come from all industries, from the oil and gas industry, the maritime industry, renewable energy and infrastructure.
In Nordic Steel, the production process starts with the drawing board. In this process, everything can be customized.
-Leirvik has supplied models for us, of which we have made fabrication drawings. Everything we produce is drawn in-house and thoroughly documented, before we send it to the customer," explains Thor Erik Hebnes.
The ventilation ducts from Nordic Steel will provide good air to the accommodation module at Jotun, which is 3200 square meters, with 55 single cabins. The living quarters will consist of recreational areas, administration centers, control rooms and other necessary facilities to run an offshore living quarter.
The Jotun FPSO production vessel has been producing oil in the North Sea since 1999. Vår Energi is the owner of Jotun and is thus responsible for the refurbishment of the ship.
The upgrade takes place at Rosenberg Worley in Stavanger. Jotun is scheduled to return to production on the Balder field during 2022.
