Matrix supplied nearly 1,000 tonnes of production buoyancy for two mid-depth buoys to support flexible production risers for the $434 billion Ichthys LNG project in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. The buoyancy, made of composite syntactic foam, will provide 460 tonnes of uplift to support each buoy structure and was manufactured at Matrix's plant in Henderson, Western Australia. The buoyancy is designed to have a lifespan of over 40 years to match the expected operational life of the Ichthys Project.
