Paul Marshall, MDL project engineer, said: “The challenges on this project revolved around the age and fragility of the products, moving schedules, as well as Covid-related personnel restrictions.
“We worked closely with the client to optimise the execution of the on-board operations, including change to tensioner squeeze settings and pads changeouts to suit the different products.”
