The Shaw Group completed pipe fabrication and module solutions for a renewable fuel refinery conversion project on the west coast for a leading downstream energy company. This project is a testament to our ability to act as a strategic partner and quickly adapt to client needs. 

The project was located on the west coast and from a logistics perspective would have traditionally been awarded to a fabricator in that region. The Shaw team saw an opportunity to apply creative solutions to fabricate the modules in our state-of-the-art Lake Charles module shop and provide transportation support for 43 modules as well as loose steel and pipe spools across the U.S. 

With the full support of our executive team, we quickly ramped up our labor pool and identified logistics solutions to meet our clients’ needs.  

“We’re extremely pleased to provide our pipe fabrication and module services for a project that contributes to a more sustainable energy future by producing lower carbon transportation fuels,” said Shaw President and CEO Mike Childers. “As our country shifts with the new energy transition, Shaw continues to evolve and better position ourselves to serve renewable energy opportunities, Shaw stands ready to assist our trusted partners with their plant modification and conversion needs.”
