CB&I's expertise in designing and building offshore substructures (jackets) is known the world over. Over the past 15 years, we've designed more than 50 jackets ranging in weight from 150 tons to 19,500 tons for some of the world's largest oil and gas companies.

We design and build jackets to withstand a variety of wind and water conditions and provide many years of safe and powerful structural support. Our substructures are providing reliable service in the arctic climates of the Alaskan and Russian offshore, the moderate waters of Southeast Asia and the harsh conditions of the North Sea and Northern Atlantic.

Our unique business model. Our customers need to focus on their core operations; they can't afford to spend countless hours managing multiple contractors. That's why we manage the project from start to finish, delivering superior results. Our unique approach results in shorter project schedules, lower costs, improved quality control and often reduced risk for our clients.

Our services for substructure projects include front-end engineering and design (FEED), conceptual and detailed design, engineering, procurement, installation and construction management. With our global network of integrated engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction resources, we can rapidly mobilize people, materials and equipment wherever they are needed.

Delivering tailored solutions. No two projects are alike; we design every jacket to meet the customer's specific requirements. We pride ourselves on being a global company that provides personalized service. Our designs have incorporated customer-requested features such as water-filled components, plated foundations and lightweight restrained X-bracing. We have designed 3-, 4- and 6-leg jackets for compression, accommodation and wellhead platforms as well as offloading facilities. And we've managed single- and multiple-platform projects that were barge-launched or lift-installed.

Our engineers have developed substructure designs that result in significant savings in capital and operating expenditures for our clients while providing safe and reliable service. These innovations have included detachable pile clusters that allow substructures to be reused, mono-tower structures, sectionalized jackets and thermally sprayed aluminum coatings.

The breadth of our experience and expertise is what differentiates us from other EPC providers. Our capabilities span the entire oil and gas production cycle, including pipelines, platforms, topsides, floating production storage and offloading systems, receiving terminals and process facilities. Thus, we understand our customers' business, and we can help them optimize their entire value chain. Contact:  offshore@CBI.com
