Fabrication Division
Our Fabrication division primarily fabricates structures such as offshore drilling
and production platforms and other steel structures for customers in the oil
and gas industry including jackets and deck sections of fixed production platforms,
hull, tendon, and/or deck sections of floating production platforms (such as
TLPs, SPARs, FPSOs and MinDOCs), piles, wellhead protectors, subsea templates,
and various production, compressor, and utility modules along with pressure
vessels. Our Fabrication division also fabricates structures for alternative
energy customers (such as the five jackets and piles we constructed for the
first offshore wind power project in the United States during 2015) as well
as modules for petrochemical facilities. We perform these activities out of
our fabrication yards in Houma, Louisiana, and Aransas Pass and Ingleside, Texas.
Shipyards Division
Our Shipyards division primarily manufactures newbuild and repairs various
steel marine vessels in the United States including offshore supply vessels,
anchor handling vessels and liftboats to support the construction and ongoing
operation of offshore oil and gas production platforms, tug boats, towboats,
barges and other marine vessels. We also construct dry docks to lift marine
vessels out of the water. Our marine repair activities include steel repair,
blasting and painting services, electrical systems repair, machinery and piping
system repairs, and propeller, shaft, and rudder reconditioning. In addition,
we perform conversion projects that consist of lengthening vessels, modifying
vessels to permit their use for a different type of activity, and other modifications
to enhance the capacity or functionality of a vessel. Our Houma dry dock has
a current lift capacity of 9,000 tons and is used to maintain and repair third
party marine vessels, as well as to launch vessels fabricated at our facilities.
We are in the process of enhancing our Houma dry dock to increase this capacity
to 15,000 tons. We perform these activities out of our shipyards in Houma, Jennings
and Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Services Division
Our Services division primarily provides interconnect piping services on offshore
platforms and inshore structures along with onshore and offshore scaffolding
and piping insulation services. Interconnect piping services involve sending
employee crews to offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico to perform welding
and other activities required to connect production equipment, service modules
and other equipment on a platform. We also contract with oil and gas companies
that have platforms and other structures located in the inland lakes and bays
throughout the southeastern United States for various on-site construction and
maintenance activities. In addition, our Services division fabricates packaged
skid units and provides various municipal and drainage projects, such as pump
stations, levee reinforcement, bulkheads and other public works projects for
state and local governments. We perform these activities at the customer's location
or in our yard in Houma, Louisiana.
