Saipem has a strong bias towards oil and gas frontiers, namely activities in harsh and remote areas, in deep waters as well as in extremely cold and hot environments, applying significant technological competences in many diverse fields such as gas monetization and heavy oil exploitation. Saipem operates in the Engineering & Construction and Drilling businesses. 4 5 SAIPEM ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION FOLLOWING AN AGGRESSIVE GROWTH STRATEGY, WHICH INCLUDED IN THE LAST DECADE THE ACQUISITION OF MANY CONSTRUCTION, TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING COMPANIES, MOST PROMINENTLY OF SNAMPROGETTI, BOUYGUES OFFSHORE, SOFRESID AND MOSS MARITIME, SAIPEM HAS BECOME ONE OF THE WORLD LARGEST AND MOST COMPLETE ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES IN THE GLOBAL OIL AND GAS MARKETS, ONSHORE AND OFFSHORE. Ever since its initial steps in the fifties and numerous project execution installation; also revamps, upgradings, as the construction division of Snam, centres around the globe, and with maintenance, decommissionings, the pipeline company of the Eni Group yearly revenues exceeding 10 billion/y; reclamations and decontaminations. in Italy, Saipem has pursued all held together by outstanding project a systematic growth strategy, based management skills.

  • Saipem Secured for Dogger Bank

    Saipem Secured for Dogger Bank

    WEDNESDAY 22 JULY 2020 SAIPEM SECURED FOR DOGGER BANK Saipem contracted to transport and install two offshore platforms for project’s first two phases Dogger Bank Wind Farm is pleased to welcome Saipem to the world’s largest offshore wind farm project. The project is located more than 130km off the North East coast of England and is made up of three phases: Dogger Bank A, Dogger Bank B and Dogger Bank C. In total, the project will be able to power over 4.5 million homes, contributing significantly towards the UK’s net zero ambition. Saipem will utilize its state-of-the-art heavy lift vessel Saipem 7000 to transport and install two offshore HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) platforms for the first two phases of the offshore wind farm development: Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B. Both platforms will consist of a ca. 2,900- tonne jacket and a ca. 8,500-tonne topside. Dogger Bank is the first project to use HVDC technology in the UK’s offshore wind market. Offshore construction at the project will be undertaken in consecutive phases, with onshore construction already underway for Dogger Bank A and B. Steve Wilson, Dogger Bank’s Project Director, said: “We’re really pleased to welcome Saipem to the Dogger Bank Project and look forward to working with them. They have extensive experience in the installation of large offshore platforms which will be essential to ensure the safe and efficient installation of the offshore HVDC platforms for Dogger Bank A and B.” Guido D’Aloisio, Head of Saipem’s newly established Offshore Renewables Business Line commented: “The project with Dogger Bank is a significant endeavour for the UK’s offshore wind industry and we are very pleased to contribute to this strategic development.

    Evaluating Skyscraper Design and Construction Technologies on an International Basis

    EVALUATING SKYSCRAPER DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES ON AN INTERNATIONAL BASIS by Saad Allah Fathy Abo Moslim B.Sc., Mansoura University, Egypt, 1984 M.Eng., The University of British Columbia, Canada, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Civil Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2017 © Saad Allah Fathy Abo Moslim, 2017 Abstract Design and construction functions of skyscrapers tend to draw from the best practices and technologies available worldwide in order to meet their development, design, construction, and performance challenges. Given the availability of many alternative solutions for different facets of a building’s design and construction systems, the need exists for an evaluation framework that is comprehensive in scope, transparent as to the basis for decisions made, reliable in result, and practical in application. Findings from the literature reviewed combined with a deep understanding of the evaluation process of skyscraper systems were used to identify the components and their properties of such a framework, with emphasis on selection of categories, perspectives, criteria, and sub-criteria, completeness of these categories and perspectives, and clarity in the language, expression and level of detail used. The developed framework divided the evaluation process for candidate solutions into the application of three integrated filters. The first filter screens alternative solutions using two-comprehensive checklists of stakeholder acceptance and local feasibility criteria/sub-criteria on a pass-fail basis to eliminate the solutions that do not fit with local cultural norms, delivery capabilities, etc. The second filter treats criteria related to design, quality, production, logistics, installation, and in-use perspectives for assessing the technical performance of the first filter survivors in order to rank them.

    Chapter 3: THE MAIN ACTORS IN THE NIGER DELTA CRISIS INTRODUCTION In addressing the primary concern of this study, it is pertinent to point out at the outset that the internationalisation of the Niger Delta crisis has been facilitated by certain actors within the context of globalisation in which case events in any one country are not only seen in farthest regions of the world but also elicit international reactions. The actions or inactions of the Nigerian state, the oil multinationals, social movements in the Niger Delta as well as those of international non-governmental organizations have pushed the Niger Delta crisis to the forefront of international environmental discourse. This chapter focuses on the role of the different actors (in consciously or inadvertently) placing the Niger Delta on the front burner of international environment and human rights advocacy. It is instructive to note here that an examination of the activities of the main actors in the Niger Delta is germane to unpacking the internationalisation of an otherwise local crisis. The recession of realpolitik after the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s threw up new issues hitherto regarded as ‘low’ areas in international politics. One of such new issues is the emergence of environmental issues in world politics and its implications for global security. This concern about security has expanded to include issues like migration, poverty, wars, environmental degradation and drug trafficking.66 It is within this context that one can conveniently locate the global attention which the Niger Delta has received in recent times. The Niger Delta crisis in Nigeria arose out of the impact of oil exploration and production on the environment and eco-system with its resultant effect of retrogression rather than development of the local people in the areas.
