The certificates where to demonstrate conformity to Chevron specifications. Chevron further required that these certificates were to be issued by a qualified, independent third party. Cube won the tender to supply this service to the project.

Cube Offshore generated Certificates of Conformity for the following items.
• UTA Mudmat

The procedure developed by Cube was to review documents, generate comment sheets to query and close-out issues and then to issue Certificates of Conformity stating applicable specifications. The carousels required Cube representative to travel to France to close-out concerns with the Carousels.
Notwithstanding Cube’s role as independent verifier, Cube worked collaboratively with Technip to close-out comments and expedite certificates.
