LQT Industries, LLC, a full-service provider of high quality accommodation facilities, design-build construction services, and support services to the oil and gas industry, has been awarded a contract for the construction of ten (10) modular units that will be utilized onboard a commercial vessel.
The outfitting will consist of both hardcore and softcore wall systems to increase the comfort and aesthetics of the buildings. Several of the modules will be constructed to tie together and open to one another creating larger rooms and interconnecting corridors. These modules will be built to USCG and ABS Class standards. The project is scheduled to be completed and delivered in March of 2015.
LQT had to compete against an international backdrop of suppliers. The customer stated, "It was LQT's engineering expertise and experience coupled with the ability to deliver in a short timeframe that helped secure the order."
Construction will take place at LQT's Construction Facility in Abbeville, LA, which specializes in designing and fabricating various types of modular structures including MCC buildings, accommodation buildings, and subarctic facilities. LQT has recently completed the expansion of their Abbeville facility to include a larger indoor fabrication area to accommodate additional projects.
