CB&I is a leading designer of semi-submersible and tension-leg platforms, with more than 130 units in service worldwide. For more than 30 years, our floating oil and gas platforms have provided safe and reliable operation even in the most challenging environments.

Providing innovative designs. Our rich history of platform design includes a number of innovations. We designed the world's first semi-submersible-the original Sedco 700 series-to provide stable operations in harsh deep-water environments. We also designed and built the first catenary-anchored concrete semi-submersible.

Our services for semi-submersible and tension-leg platform projects include front-end engineering and design, conceptual design, detail engineering, procurement, installation and construction management. We've executed new construction projects as well as conversions, refurbishments and maintenance work.

Delivering customized solutions. No two platform projects are alike. We design every platform for our customer's specific requirements, taking into account air and water conditions, environmental issues, reservoir size and composition, water depth, proximity of nearby platforms and pipelines, and other factors. We work with our customers on a personal level to help them develop their resources and maximize the return on their investment.

We have the specialized engineering expertise to help oil and gas producers develop fields farther offshore and in deeper water. Our in-house resources include a worldwide network of engineers, project managers, craftsmen, facilities and equipment that can be mobilized virtually anywhere. For every project, we provide experienced people who understand the regulatory, logistical and environmental issues associated with international offshore work.

With experience spanning the entire oil and gas production cycle-from wellhead to product distribution—we understand our customers' business and how our projects affect the overall value chain. We optimize our solutions and our construction methods to deliver shorter schedules, improved productivity and potentially lower costs for our customers. That's why we're one of the most trusted EPC providers in the offshore industry.

Reducing the customer's risk. Safety is our foremost concern when designing floating platforms. From concept through commissioning, we make every effort to ensure the safety of our employees and to minimize our customers' risk. Our platforms have a proven record of safe operation even in the most challenging conditions and locales. Every semi-submersible we design has redundant safety features and can withstand minimum waves of 100 feet, winds of 100 miles per hour, and water and air temperatures below zero.
