Twin structures support blast and paint operations

Rubb buildings can be used for all forms of abrasive blasting and are ideal for industrial and fabrication operations. Rubb provides both insulated and non-insulated facilities. As standard, the structures are supplied with a post-fabrication hot-dip galvanized steel structural frame system, engineered to building code requirements for wind, snow and seismic loads.

For the blasting operations, McDermott required a sealed building so the blasting grit could be recycled. The blast paint facilities incorporate air extraction systems, as well as climate and humidity controls, to enable precise environment management for rapid production times and high-quality results. The paint cell has been ventilated to meet the requirements of the paint specifications. The painting, blasting, grit recovery and ventilation systems were installed by Singapore company Asia Airblast.

The fabrication facilitiesat Batam serve both traditional and floating offshore construction, the growing onshore Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) module market and subsea structure fabrication markets.

McDermott has repositioned itself to take advantage of the resurgence of global oil and gas projects, with plenty of opportunities for business across the region. With a revitalized and re-established commercial presence in Southeast Asia the company is also looking at quite a number of significant onshore opportunities in the refining and petrochemical sectors.
