Australia: Gorgon Jetty Contract Goes to Leighton Engineering

Leighton Engineering, a fully owned subsidiary of Leighton Offshore, has been awarded a contract by Leighton Contractors for engineering support for the Gorgon Jetty Project in Perth, Western Australia.

This work involves the provision of Marine and Naval Architecture engineering support services in connection with the load out and transportation of concrete caissons by barge, including stability and motion analysis, sea fastening design and detailing, grillage design and mooring analysis.

The Gorgon Project, operated by Chevron, will develop the Gorgon and Jansz/Io gas fields, located within the Greater Gorgon area, about 130 kilometres off the north-west coast of Western Australia.

It includes the construction of a 15 million tonne per annum (MTPA) Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant on Barrow Island and a domestic gas plant with the capacity to provide 300 terajoules per day to supply gas to Western Australia.
