CB&I ships Viva Energy Modules from its Thailand fabrication facility
CB&I, a wholly owned unrestricted subsidiary of McDermott, has shipped three out of five process assembly unit (PAU) modules for Viva Energy Australia.
The modules sailed away from CB&I's Kasemphol, Thailand fabrication facility, making their way to Viva Energy's Geelong refinery, Victoria, Australia. This is the second shipment of modules from the Kasemphol fabrication facility which form a critical part of Viva Energy's Gasoline Masterplan Project.
McDermott's Low Carbon Solutions business line and CB&I's Kasemphol fabrication team have worked collaboratively to provide a comprehensive solution to Viva Energy for the ultra-low sulfur gasoline plant as part of its Gasoline Masterplan Project.
CB&I Thailand's fabrication project scope of work consists of five PAU modules and two pipe rack (PAR) modules, which will be delivered to the client in three shipments.
"Our strong, local team remains focused on safety and execution excellence as it delivers the next shipment of modules and as we work to complete the modules needed for Viva Energy's Gasoline Masterplan Project," said Mark Butts, Senior Vice President for CB&I. "Their hard work has solidified our Thailand execution office as a leading mid-size process and pipe rack module fabricator in the region."
The Kasemphol fabrication facility, with its in-house capabilities, assembly yard, suppliers and subcontractors, all within an 80-km radius, and local personnel experienced in the module work, was a natural fit to execute and deliver the modules on time for the customer.
CB&I's fabrication activities commenced in the first quarter of 2023 with the first shipment, consisting of the PAR modules, completed in March 2024. The final shipment of PAU modules is targeted for late 2024, which will signal the completion of the project for CB&I.
