AIS Bardot has secured another successful award from Saipem Group for Total’s Kaminho project in Angola.

This award is for the manufacture and supply of three complete hybrid riser lines of 100 metres each, continuing our established relationship with our longstanding customer. These will be used to pump seawater to provide the appropriate volume and flow of cold water to cool down essential equipment and prevent overheating in the FPSO unit.

Stanislas Tchoutakian, Business Development Manager for France, commented:

“This success strengthens our close relationship with Saipem and Total on this very particular supply. Many years of development and qualification led to this award, congratulations to all the team who made this achievement possible.”

Manufactured with high-density polyethylene instead of traditional rubber and steel, our solution is lighter in weight. Not only does this reduce operating costs, but it supports sustainability initiatives as less energy is used.

Engineered to meet the precise requirements of water depth, temperature, and flow rate, our water intake risers accommodate the hydrodynamic stresses of the operational environment, ensuring maximum functionality and cost effectiveness. They are easy to install, with a long life span and no maintenance required, while meeting international offshore standards to meet all required specifications.
