Gulf Island Fabrication Inc's Business Segments

Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc., and together with its subsidiaries, is a leading fabricator of complex steel structures and marine vessels used in energy extraction and production, petrochemical and industrial facilities, power generation and alternative energy projects and shipping and marine transportation operations. We also provide related installation, hookup, commissioning, repair and maintenance services with specialized crews and integrated project management capabilities. We are currently fabricating complex modules for the construction of a new petrochemical plant, completing newbuild construction of two technologically advanced offshore support and two multi-purpose service vessels and recently fabricated wind turbine pedestals for the first offshore wind power project in the United States. We also constructed one of the largest liftboats servicing the Gulf of Mexico ("GOM"), one of the deepest production jackets in the GOM and the first SPAR fabricated in the United States. Our customers include U.S. and, to a lesser extent, international energy producers, petrochemical, industrial, power and marine operators. Our corporate headquarters is located in Houston, Texas, with fabrication facilities located in Houma, Jennings and Lake Charles, Louisiana, and Aransas Pass and Ingleside, Texas.

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 customers location or in our yard in Houma, Louisiana.
