Highlights
- Represents McDermott’s industry leading modular program delivery expertise by reducing the original plot acreage from 40 acres to 26 acres and removing 3000 craft at peak from site
- All module fabrication delivered within two years from first steel cut
- Mechanical completion reached six months after fabrication delivery
- The GCGV project is a multi-billion-dollar greenfield chemical complex near Gregory, Texas, including site infrastructure (common facilities), 1.8 MTA ethane crackers and utilities, 1000 KTA MEG units, and two 650 KTA polyethylene derivative units. The MEG unit represents the largest single-train MEG production facility in the world. To ensure the success of the MEG unit, McDermott developed and executed its own design and arrangement to maximize modularization and minimize onsite work hours. The project also leveraged McDermott’s global capabilities by fabricating all five process modules in our QMW yard and all three pipe racks in our Altamira yard
