Projects

Technica are framework contractors for the UK gas networks. The frameworks enable the end user to select a pre-qualified competent company to carry out project services.

Typical projects responsibilities include project management, multidiscipline engineering design, material procurement, installation and commissioning. Projects range from minor modifications at existing brown field site installations to the design and construction associated with new green field gas sites.

Projects typically involve production of documentation and provision of services associated with:

> Site Survey Report
> Conceptual Design
> Detailed Work Scope
> Detailed Electrical and Instrumentation Design
> Detailed Civils and Mechanical Design
> Software and Telemetry Design
> HSE / CDM Documentation
> Installation and Commissioning
> Independent HSE and Behavioural Audits
> Project Handover Manuals

Technica provided Kuwait & UK based Electrical & Instrumentation design and management services for the Kuwait Gasport facility from the initial stages of the project in 2007. The Mina Al-Ahmadi GasPort (MAAGP) is Kuwait’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal.

Using Excelerate Energy’s GasPort technology, an Energy Bridge Regasification Vessel (EBRV™) is stationed at the existing Mina Al-Ahmadi South Jetty facility and delivers regasified LNG at a baseload rate of up to 500 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d). In addition, the MAAGP incorporates an innovative shuttle tanker berth that provides for ship-to-ship LNG transfer and boil off gas management capabilities between a conventional LNG carrier and the EBRV™.

This allows Excelerate Energy to keep the EBRV™ on station while receiving cargo deliveries of LNG from conventional carrier’s dockside, resulting in a flexible terminal that can provide seasonal baseload service to Kuwait.

Construction of the facility began in January of 2008 from which point Technica provided a constant site presence of highly experienced and skilled Engineers and Supervisors based at the Mina Al Ahmadi Oil Refinery.
