Ocean Installer has successfully completed a contract for a pipeline survey and boulder relocation at the Corrib field.

The job was part of the development of the Corrib gas field and the contract covered the survey of a 20in, 83km long offshore pipeline and the relocation of about 250 boulders, clearing a 12-metre wide corridor in an umbilical lay route.

The work commenced in early August and was successfully completed last week using the construction support vessel (CSV) Normand Clipper.
