Projects
Bicontinental through its subsidiaries, affiliates and partnerships has been involved in several EPCI projects. In the past, most of our major construction and fabrication were done at shipyards in the US and shipped overseas. However, with the new local content laws in many countries in Africa and South America, we now do most of our work in host country.
For example we now do a lot of construction and fabrication at our affiliate company’s yard, Southern Africa Shipyards (SAS). This is one of the largest shipyards in Africa. The yard is capable of handling vessel and Rig refurbishment and maintenance, construction and fabrication of subsea structures such as manifolds and trees. From South Africa, we support the growing East and Central African oil and gas market.
In West Africa, we have two yards in Nigeria including a well equipped machine shop. We have successfully executed some construction and fabrication jobs at our yards.
Below are selected sample projects that Bicontinental and partners have participated directly, in partnership or as part of a consortium.
