Client: Next Wave Energy Partners
Location: Pasadena, Texas, USA
Scope: Pipe Spool Fabrication
In 2022, The Shaw Group completed the fabrication scope for Next Wave Energy Partners’ state-of-the-art ethylene-to-alkylate facility in Pasadena, Texas. The project supports the production of “Optimate,” a high-octane, low-sulfur alkylate with zero olefins used to improve gasoline performance and reduce emissions.
Shaw’s scope encompassed the fabrication of 15,920 pipe spools, totaling 2,864 tons of material and 491,775 Factored Diameter Inches (FDI). The facility has a nameplate capacity of 28,000 barrels per day and plays a key role in advancing cleaner fuel alternatives.
LNG Module Project
Client: Freeport LNG
Location: Freeport, Texas, USA
Scope: Module Fabrication
The Shaw Group successfully completed the fabrication of seven mega modules in 2018 at our Lake Charles, Louisiana, module facility. Each module ranged in weight from 500 to 1,500 tons.
The project scope included material management, structural steel assembly, pipe fabrication, painting, insulation, fireproofing, electrical tray installation, pressure testing, dimensional control, post-weld heat treatment (PWHT), and non-destructive examination (NDE).
More than 1.4 million work hours were executed with zero lost time incidents (LTI). All modules were shipped to the project site via deck barge.
LNG Pipe Spool Fabrication
Client: Confidential
Location: Australia
Scope: Pipe Spool Fabrication
The Shaw Group completed the fabrication of 35,000 pipe spools in 2016 for an LNG project in Australia. The work was executed at our fabrication facility in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
