The Gorgon Project, Chevron
Barrow Island, Western Australia – Gorgon is one of the world’s largest liquified natural gas (LNG) projects and the largest single resource project in Australia’s history. Gorgon comprises a three-train, 15.6 million tonnes per annum LNG facility and a domestic gas plant with the capacity to supply 300 terajoules of gas per day to Western Australia.
With a predicted project lifespan of more than 40 years, the development of Gorgon is a legacy in reliable energy supply, environmental management, innovative technology and expertise.
Treadwell was engaged to supply the FRP cable ladders for this facility.
Project Challenges
- Selected material had to be corrosion resistant, as it was installed in a very harsh and exposed environment.
- Product had to withstand long spans.
- Due to the nature and location of the site, material had to be lightweight for easy transportation and installation.
