Results
The Motiva Port Arthur Expansion Project doubled the facility’s processing capacity, making it the largest refinery in North America (at that time) and one of the largest in the world. This expansion, comprised of several individual projects, involved a total investment of $10 billion and 35 million hours worked.
The overall project allowed the refinery to produce a larger variety of crude oils. Some of their major products are gasoline, jet fuel and base oils.
Working under S&B, I&I Soft Craft Solutions performed the Pipe and Equipment Insulation on the Sulphur Block Unit 2 Project. The project value was $16,600,000 and involved more than 400,000 workhours with a peak workforce of 340.
We also completed the Piping Insulation on the GC3 OSBL project. This work was completed for Turner Industries and was valued at $10,300,000. Our peak workforce on this project was 300, and our total workhours were 106,512.
As the Port Arthur Expansion Project was a major endeavor for Motiva, all projects undertaken had definitive deadlines and involved extensive coordination efforts with other contractors on site. Our skilled crews, supervision and project management successfully planned and scheduled all facets of these projects, including purchasing, material scheduling and installation.
