Scope of Work
Cianbro was selected from a field of 60 facilities from around the world to construct and fabricate modules for Motiva's Refinery Expansion Project. Cianbro assembled 51 modules at its deep water Eastern Manufacturing Facility (EMF) along the Penobscot River in Brewer, Maine. Completed modules were barged to Port Arthur, Texas as part of the construction of the 325,000 barrel-per-day capacity expansion project, making it the largest crude oil processing plant in North America. Heavy investments in labor-reducing and quality enhancing technology, such as automatic welding and cloud point laser scanning, interfaced with 3D modeling, ensuring assembly efficiency at EMF. Coordination with a world-wide network of material providers, related web-based communications and project controls, guaranteed on time delivery of critical components. That combined with high quality standards, including surveying, module-to-module interface alignment, and providing completely tested systems, ensured a start-up time of less than 30 days for this impressive project.
