Title: Polarled pull-in at Nyhamna

Duration: {2:08} minutes

Description:

Connecting the Polarled pipeline at the Nyhamna gas plant

Watch time-lapse footage from the start of construction on the new 480-kilometre Polarled pipeline in March 2015 when the world’s largest pipe-laying vessel, Solitaire, arrived at the Nyhamna. Around 400 engineers worked day and night shifts over 72 hours to connect the end of the pipeline to the gas plant in an operation requiring millimetre precision.

Time-lapse

{ video footage}

The giant pipe-laying ship Solitaire arrives in the fjord by the onshore gas processing plant Nyhamna in daylight and lower it’s stinger to get ready to start pull-in at Nyhamna. During night-time the pipeline Polarled reaches shore in the landfall and you can see the pipeline being pulled in at the pre-prepared landfall by a powerful cable. Pull-in is visualized by time-laps. Several people are involved in the process and follow the pipeline closely. Involved is staff from pipe-lay operator Statoil, Nyhamna operator Shell, and Allseas; the shipping company owning the ship Solitaire. A big milestone is reached as the end point of Polarled is in place and secured at Nyhamna.
