Corinth Pipeworks has been awarded a contract by TechnipFMC for 27 km of high frequency welding (HFW) pipes for the Utsira High subsea project in the North Sea.
The Utsira High consists of two separate subsea projects, Symra and Solveig, in the central part of the North Sea. Symra will connect to the Ivar Aasen platform, while Solveig phase 2 will connect to the Edvard Grieg platform.
