KBR is the subcontractor for the detailed engineering and procurement assistance, and will provide additional engineering assistance throughout the construction and installation phases. The detailed engineering work will be performed by KBR from its Leatherhead offices, under the supervision of Dragados Offshore. Completion will be achieved upon sailaway of the different elements and is targeted for April and May 2012.
