Liberty Industrial was engaged by Santos to undertake a deconstruction and disposal study of the Harriet Alpha platform. The Harriet Alpha platform was put into use in 1986 and has halted production in 2013. Since the fourth quarter of 2014, the site has remained as an unmanned facility. Our team’s involvement in the study produced for Santos involved the evaluation of potential sites in Australia for the Harriet Alpha platform’s deconstruction and disposal and we developed a plan for its transportation and dismantling and estimated the schedule and costs for the project.

• The immense size of the Harriet Alpha platform presented significant difficulties for the deconstruction and disposal works to be taken which included logistical issues and the lack of an adequate facility for onshore deconstruction activities.
