  • EzyStrut is supporting a project that is providing fuel to major cities all over the world

  The Ichthys LNG Project is one of Australia’s most challenging, yet exciting LNG projects. Located about 220 kilometres off Western Australia and 820 kilometres southwest of Darwin, the Ichthys Field covers an area of around 800 square kilometres in water averaging depths of 250 metres. Fuel from Ichthys will supply major global centres in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres for decades to come, hence all suppliers were required to provide solutions that could service Inpex’s jewel project well into the future.

• Multiple Project Locations Successfully Supplied

  Because of its sheer size, the Ichthys project has rigs, onshore processing facilities, and assembly yards across Asia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. This has meant that high volumes of product was required to be supplied in a timely manner, with access to fast turnaround specials at any location too.

• The Client found their Solutions with EzyStrut

  It was EzyStrut’s large shelf range of multiple products with so many variations in size, materials and load bearing capabilities that made us the obvious choice for the project: The senior project engineers for Ichthys saw that EzyStrut could truly cover every base for all electrical support needs of the project.

  However, EzyStrut’s engineers were able to add further value by addressing specific safety needs of some of the project’s cyclone prone locations by developing a special cyclone rated hold down system for the cable supports that could be exposed to the strong weather.
