To take advantage of the additional oil and gas reserves in the Valhall field, BP Norway has invested in a new Production and Hotel (PH) platform. Atkins provided technical support to address the working environment aspects of the PH platform during the detailed design phase and continues to provide support during the current construction phase.

There is a strong focus on user involvement and good design of the working environment.

Atkins staff provided expertise in this area during the detailed design and construction phases of the project, in an integrated design and assurance role.

Atkins’ client Mustang Engineering (part of the Wood Group) is responsible for the platform topsides (process area). Atkins staff carried out working environment activities in accordance with NORSOK standards to ensure compliance with the rigorous working environment standards set by the customer, BP Norway.
