Scope of Work

Sea Trucks Group required reinstatement and modification works on previously delivered portable accommodation modules to support offshore operations in Australian waters, 890 km west of Darwin. The modules, originally fabricated in 2014, needed to be adapted into a 44-unit accommodation block—11 modules wide and 4 high—to house up to 224 personnel onboard under MLC and ABS compliance. 

Execution

Specialist Services, part of Centurion’s Middle East & North Africa region, deployed a dedicated team of specialists from its Dubai facility to the client’s selected shipyard in Batam, Indonesia. Works included converting existing modules to accommodate new functions such as Gymnasium and Recreation Rooms, upgrading HVAC systems, improving drainage, modifying door and panel configurations, and integrating new electrical and communication infrastructure.

All modules were interconnected and stacked to form a unified structure with updated fire & gas cabling, distribution panels for each floor, and revised patch panel positioning for communications. Electrical drawings and stacking studies were also updated to reflect the new configuration, with all modifications aligned to ABS and MLC requirements. 

Outcome & Value Delivered

The project to deliver reinstatement and modification works on the previously-delivered Accommodation Modules was completed on time by 15 May 2017 - supporting STF to comfortably accommodate the 224 peronnell on board.

Specialist Services provided comprehensive support through design, execution, and documentation, including as-built drawings and ABS certification assistance. The resulting modular accommodation complex delivered a safe, comfortable, and fully compliant environment. STG management expressed high satisfaction with the quality of work and performance of the Specialist Services team.
