fabrication buildings are located on-site, including a deck
assembly building, a shot blast building equipped with Rotoblast
machinery, and a climate-controlled paint building.
Gulf Marine Fabricators specializes in the construction
of large topsides, hulls, cell spars, jackets and compliant
towers, as well as FPSO, drillship, MinDoc Hulls, TLP and semi-submersible
