Edvard Greig Calorimeter Container
Date: 2013
Supply of ProTek® panels for protection of 1 off Calorimeter against 0.5 barg explosion blast load. SCS was able to meet the requirement described above by supplying lightweight and rigid non-metallic ProTek® enclosure panels that met the structural requirements from NORSOK load cases for wave slam, blast and other environmental loads that were bolted directly onto the calorimeter skid structure with any additional panel support structure provided by SCS. In addition, the enclosure protects the equipment located inside against 60 minute hydrocarbon
Products commissioned: Bespoke ProTek® composite Enclosure
