The company used the 1,500t gantry crane specifically mobilised for the project to optimise modularisation and integration of the substructure in the dry-dock.

Arup also provided technical supervision throughout the offshore works to ensure the design intent and tolerances were achieved.

SPEX engineering manager Martyn Turner said: "The Arup team has been outstanding during the fabrication and installation of the new platform.

"Mobilising resources as required from both their local Manila office and international oil and gas teams has ensured the project was delivered successfully."

Arup has also developed the concept for the 43m bridge link connecting the platform to the existing CGS platform, which was delivered by the company in 2000.
