THE CUSTOMER
Prior to engineering the routes, CCS coordinated meetings with each of the right of way owners to determine acceptable paths. This enabled CCS to produce accurate drawing sets to be submitted for approval with an accelerated review time. Weekly project meetings enabled CCS to align schedules with the subsea construction to deliver an on-time product.
