| Aker H-6e drilling rigs featured on Discovery Channel A major feat of engineering will be successfully concluded when, by the end of this month, Aker Solutions hands over the second of two Aker H-6e drilling rigs to Aker Drilling. Building two of the world's most advanced drilling rigs, tailored to operate in harsh environments, extreme temperatures and in ultra-deep waters, has been an extraordinary project that quickly caught the attention of the Discovery Channel. Discovery, the non-fiction media channel with hundreds of millions of subscribers around the world, selected the project to be part of its popular series "Mega Builders". The TV channel will broadcast a 60 minute documentary about the Aker H-6e project in 24 European and Asian countries, bringing Aker Solutions' engineering and management expertise to its broadest-ever worldwide audience. The programme is scheduled to be aired in Norway on Sunday 28 June at 22:00. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
