Best Energy/Industrial Project and Best Safety Project
The Arctic Containment System project delivered a first-of-its-kind, barge-based oil-spill containment system to serve the owner as a fourth line of defense against an oil well breach during Arctic drilling.
The system is a prototype that had never been constructed before. Therefore, the project team was challenged to pre-plan key items such as scheduling and budgeting. With no precedent to work from, initial schedules and budgets served only as starting points and were periodically modified during the project.
