Sembcorp Marine launched its new state-of-the-art steel structure fabrication workshop – the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia – which is set to boost the company’s steel fabrication capacity for its future needs.
Officially opened by Economic Development Board Chairman Dr Beh Swan Gin today, the 120,000-square-metre facility at Sembcorp Marine’s Tuas Boulevard Yard is fully covered.
Comprising five bays for pre-treatment, cutting and assembly, the workshop is ergonomically designed to facilitate a seamless work flow. It operates with a suite of computerised systems, mechanised steel-cutting and welding equipment, high-capacity cranes, and a streamlined process that not only optimises production efficiency, but also reduces man-hours and production time to half of previous process requirements for every tonne of steel fabricated.
Standout features of the new facility include a fully-automated panel production line that delivers high quality welding precision and efficiency; as well as capabilities for producing steel components of customised shapes and sizes.
Sembcorp Marine now focuses on four key capabilities across its global operations, namely, Rigs & Floaters; Repairs & Upgrades; Offshore Platforms; and Specialised Shipbuilding.
