Regular Members

Over the years they have been responsible for innovations that have revolutionised construction methods both on and offshore. Major onshore contractors are involved not only with pipeline construction but also with the installation of pumping and compressor stations, ancillary oil and gas field construction, communication networks and instrumentation including roads and housing. In addition to pipeline work, major offshore contractors are involved in dredging, sub-sea installations and the construction of giant offshore platforms.
