OCP Ecuador Project.
Project description
This project was a challenge especially regarding the environmental obligation and conditions. On the one hand, the construction site was in the middle of the cloud forest in Ecuador, where the climatic conditions were not favorable for a normal construction site; on the other hand, we were in a protective area in Ecuador, and had high environmental obligations – for example the noise limit was very very low.
Scope of work
Installation of cable cranes and operation, transport of pipes and fitting into welding position, transport of Sandbags, blasting and coating material, padding and backfilling material, drilling and anchoring of pipeline.
