COMPANY PROFILE DNV GL
DNV GL: Assurance partner from
concept to TLP certification
DNV GL provides classification,
technical assurance, software,
and independent expert advisory services. From project initiation to decommissioning,
DNV GL experts enable oil
and gas operators to make
the right choices for a safer,
smarter, and greener future.
For Moho Nord,
DNV GL served as the as-
surance partner for Total
from the earliest stages of the
project—from concept stage ap-
proval, all the way to final TLP clas-
sification and certification. DNV GL
provided the confidence required
on the tendon system and compo-
nents, by following up on the criti-
cal delivery to ensure project-specific
compliance. Additionally, DNV GL
performed independent verification of
risers and mooring system.
Proactive engagement was a must
to ensure the success of this project. Challenges included addressing
a parallel total quality and certification approach on the critical tendon
components, as well as simultaneous operations with a tender-assist-ed, drilling rig. As a result of the Moho
Nord project experience, DNV GL issued a new updated set of rules for
the benefit of future TLP projects.
