Scope of Work

Zakher Marine International required a large-scale Temporary Living Quarters (TLQ) complex to accommodate 150 personnel on board the QMS Pearl jack up barge offshore Abu Dhabi for Zakum Development Company (ZADCO). The solution needed to be ABS certified, A60 fire rated, installed on a limited laydown area, and delivered within a short lead time for a minimum contract duration of 615 days. 

Execution

Specialist Services, part of Centurion's Middle East & North Africa region, supplied and installed a 77-module TLQ complex, including 75 ABS certified Accommodation Modules and two combined modules to serve as a larger recreation room. To meet the tight delivery schedule, 10 modules were newly manufactured, while another 10 were transferred from Specialist Services’ Singapore facility. 

Delivery of all modules and associated stairway and walkway systems to the site required coordinated multi-trailer logistics from the Jebel Ali yard to offshore Abu Dhabi. Onsite installation was completed within four weeks, thanks to the exceptional coordination between Specialist Services’ teams in the yard and on site, and in close collaboration with the client and other contractors. 

Outcome & Value Delivered

The TLQ complex was successfully installed and operational by 1st September 2016, marking one of the largest TLQ rental contracts globally at the time - demonstrating Specialist Services’ ability to execute high-volume, high-specification modular accommodation projects with precision and speed. 

The client issued an official letter of appreciation recognizing the dedication, professionalism, and technical excellence of the Specialist Services team. The TLQ complex continues to support offshore accommodation needs on board the QMS Pearl jack up barge, reinforcing Specialist Services’ leadership in turnkey modular solutions for offshore living in remote and challenging environments.
