Earlier this year Van Oord succesfully executed a Subsea Rock Installation project at two gas pipelines for Petrobras Oil & Gas. Both pipe lines at the bottom of the Rio Negro-river were stabilized and protected by means of rock.
On behalf of the Dutch company, based in Rio de Janeiro, project manager Bert Bouwmeester collected the trophy. “ Not only a big compliment for Petrobras and Van Oord, but also a tribute to all Brasilian companies involved. As a pilotproject our challenge was to operate in a new country and environment, and to install in a constant moving river Rio Negro “.
The yearly Dutcham trade competition awarded two other Dutch companies for second and third. Fugro Subsea Services for the construction of a new building site, illustrating their commitment to the future Brazilian market, and Royal Dutch Shell for their achievements in 2010 and 2011.
