APLNG Trophy

Last month, Aquatec Maxcon Group’s Sister Company, Cryeng, was awarded a trophy from Bechtel Oil, Gas & Chemicals Inc. for “Outstanding Performance in Support of the APLNG Project”. APLNG, which involves the development of substantial CSG resources in the Surat and Bowen Basins; building a 450km gas transmission pipeline; and construction of a multi-train LNG facility on Curtis Island, is an EPC Contract managed by Bechtel which will see LNG shipped around the world.

Following the successful delivery of a similar project for QCLNG, Cryeng, who specialises in Engineering, Procurement and Construction Projects for Cryogenics and Oil & Gas Customers, was awarded the contract for the design and fabrication of 4km of Vacuum Insulated Pipe (VIP) for the APLNG Project. The VIP Spools ranged in size from 200NB to 1500NB and were provided for the LNG facility on Curtis Island, off the coast of Gladstone.

Maxcon Industries was the direct interface between Cryeng Thailand and the Client and was responsible for providing support and expertise to Cryeng Thailand, specifically in addressing the Client’s stringent procedures and documentation standards to ensure Code compliance. Maxcon’s highly experienced Quality Control team guided the project to successful delivery, held regular progress meetings, submitted the required documentation and inspected and tested the fabrication of the spools to ensure they were built to the highest possible standard. This significant contribution allowed the project to be delivered within the challenging timeframe and within budget.

Maxcon’s extensive fabrication facilities at our Head Office in Ipswich as well as our overseas factories in Indonesia and Thailand have delivered several large quality fabrication projects over the years. In 2013, 2 x 288kL Ethylene Storage Drums for the APLNG Project were successfully designed and fabricated in our Ipswich factory in accordance with Bechtel’s approved procedures. Cryogenic Vessels are also regularly fabricated from our Ipswich factory for distribution to various projects throughout Australia.

As part of the Aquatec Maxcon Group’s vertically integrated capabilities, we are able to provide a vast range of services to Clients across all Industries to the highest possible standard. Please contact us for any sales enquiry you may have.
