Project Objectives

Maxcon Industries was contracted by Cryeng Group Pty Ltd (who was awarded the project by Bechtel Oil Gas and Chemicals) to manufacture and deliver all of the specialised high quality vacuum insulated pipework required for the multi-billion dollar Gladstone LNG project. The vacuum insulated pipe was used to transfer the processed LNG from the processing plant, from the port facilities to the ship loading facilities off shore.

Maxcon Industries engaged its sister company Cryeng Thailand to manufacture the custom lengths and diameters of ultra-high efficiency vacuum insulated pipe due to its ASME accreditation, flexibility and dedication to quality. The custom nature of the project required a specialist approach to production and project management that was developed in consultation with Cryeng Group Pty Ltd and Bechtel. Maxcon Industries took advantage of its head office resources in Queensland, and chose Cryeng Thailand to manufacture off shore. Maxcon Industries’ ability to utilise key advantages of its company structure ensured the project was delivered successfully.

Delivery

The QCLNG contract was successfully completed by Maxcon Industries, Cryeng Thailand and Cryeng Group Pty Ltd ahead of the project schedule and with no financial overruns or delays. The vacuum insulated pipe was delivered by road to the Laem Chabang port in Thailand. Bechtel then installed the completed pipe into modules prior to shipping over 4750 Nautical Miles to the port of Gladstone in the Great Barrier Reef.
