Sarens is pleased to be providing equipment for several heavy lifts on the Thaioil Clean Fuel Project in the Chonburi province of Thailand. Thaioil’s expansion and upgrade of its facilities at the Laemchabang refinery will enhance the energy security of the country.

Working on behalf of its client, comprising an unincorporated joint venture (UJV) between Petrofac, Saipem and Samsung (UJV), Sarens is lifting three heavy modules at the site using the following equipment:

• LR1400 in SDWB 35+35m configuration
• CC2500-1 in SSL 66m configuration
• CC2800 in SWSL 42m+36m configuration
• LR1600
• CC6800

The equipment was selected by the UJV for its engineering feasibility and compatibility with project demands. Following selection, Sarens was quick to mobilise the equipment from the Sarens’ yard in Thailand and set up within a week of reaching the work site. The equipment has now been on site since March 2022 and will remain on site through August 2023.
