Case Study
TSEP Western Australia
TSEP Western Australia Project: Subsea machining equipment developed for 120m depth on new pipeline Location: Woodside Energy Trunking System Expansion Project (TSEP) North West Coast, Western Australia TEAM Service: Field Machining Need and Challenge: Specialist subsea equipment was required to enable 30 inch and 42 inch ANSI RTJ joints to be machined in the event that the flange sealing faces were damaged during the pipeline assembly process, as the spools were brought together on the seabed and the flange studs tensioned. Solution and Outcome Specially-developed subsea machining equipment and tooling was designed and fabricated by TEAM Australia for TSEP , to machine RTJ joints on the new subsea pipeline at 120 metres depth. The equipment was supplied to the Technip-Cofl
