Artificial exploration drilling islands Kashagan, Aktote and Kairan

The islands have therefore been constructed from limestone quarry run, shipped from Bautino by barges. The island embankments are protected with limestone rock and steel sheetpile walls. The island topside facilities, drilling rigs, associated utilities and the living quarters are founded on prefabricated concrete slabs.

The detailed designs were prepared in the Witbo-Niping project office in Aktau, which en-sured a good coordination with the clients organisation and local suppliers.
