Larsen & Toubro (L&T) said that it will have single-point responsibility for the complete engineering, procurement, fabrication and installation of the offshore platforms.

The Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) project comprises building three smart well platforms, sub-sea interconnecting pipelines, sub-sea cables and topside modifications for the Mumbai High South field.

It will involve 15,000 tonnes of topside and jackets, 58km sub-sea pipelines and 22km of sub-sea cables, in addition to many other facilities. The project is expected to be completed by April 2009.

L&T will carry out the engineering design at its subsidiary, L&T Valdel, in Bangalore, India, and fabrication will be carried out at L&T’s shore-based manufacturing complex at Hazira near Surat in the Indian state of Gujarat, as well as at the company’s large fabrication facility at Sohar in Oman.
