Undertaken in Henderson, Western Australia the work includes adding work involves adjustable pipe support structures (APS) to the pipeline.
The APS will support the pipeline and bring it to the required height and orientation at the end termination.

Pål Helsing, president of Kongsberg, said he was delighted to have been awarded the contract.
He added: “The contract is important for us in the Australian market and it shows that our solutions fit very well into the conditions and challenges offshore Australia.”
Konsberg will carry out the engineering, procurement and construction and delivery while Saipem will do the installation.
The Ichthys Field is about 220 km offshore Western Australia and 820 km southwest of Darwin.
The subsea pipeline is 882 km long and continues 7 km onshore to the liquefaction facilities being constructed at Bladin Point near Darwin.
