Valve Tech Engineering provided services at the BassGas Project and Yolla platform during a shutdown from November 2009 to February 2010.

Valve Tech Director Christopher Tabone says “We played a pivotal role in bringing both units back into compliance – testing and overhauling over 150 various valves in a timely and cost-effective manner.

“The company was also involved in securing valve spares and providing logistical support in getting the valves back online.”

To meet Origin’s occupational health and safety requirements, the Valve Tech crew attended nationally accredited training courses, including HUET, MSIC, Senior First Aid, and Confined Space.
