Construction of heavy industries facilities and the construction of offshore facilities are two specialized fields within the larger construction industry. These types of projects are typically large in scale, complex, and require specialized knowledge and expertise to complete.
Construction of heavy industries facilities encompasses the construction of facilities such as power plants, refineries, steel mills, and other large-scale industrial plants. These projects often involve the construction of heavy machinery and equipment, such as boilers, turbines, and tanks. The construction process for heavy industries facilities typically involves a large team of engineers, construction workers, and specialized contractors, and may require multiple phases of construction and commissioning. The construction process must also comply with strict safety and environmental regulations, which can add to the complexity of these projects.
Construction of offshore facilities some time called as Installation, on the other hand, is the process of building facilities on or in the ocean, typically in the form of oil and gas platforms, wind farms and other structures like FPSO, FLNG and etc. These projects often take place in remote and harsh environments, and require specialized expertise in areas such as marine engineering, subsea engineering and offshore logistics. The construction process for offshore facilities typically involves a combination of offshore and onshore work and may involve the use of specialized equipment such as jack-up rigs, barges, and ships. The safety and environmental concerns for offshore facilities are also paramount, considering the hazards of working in an offshore environment. The onshore work is to prepare module packages to be installed in the offshore.
Both Heavy industries and Offshore construction are capital-intensive and have a longer time frame compared to other construction projects. The overall construction process can take several years to complete, from the initial planning and design stages to commissioning and closeout. Due to the complexity and specialized nature of these projects, they require careful planning, management, and execution to be completed successfully.
