SHWE Project, Myanmar — Skirt Pile Jacket and Buoyancy Tank · 9,000 MT · 2021–2022

SREC fabricated the skirt pile jacket scope, buoyancy tank and jacket leg and bracing sections for the SHWE development offshore Myanmar, working for POSCO International through Hyundai Heavy Industries and PTSC M&C.

Large-diameter API 2B tubulars — jacket leg and bracing at OD 3,080 mm × 100 mm WT × 21,000 mm, and a buoyancy tank at OD 5,500 mm × 70 mm WT × 37,000 mm — were rolled, seam-welded and assembled into sections, with full non-destructive testing of every circumferential weld, followed by coating and sea-fastening for transport.
