Tracing the past
An archipelago of over 13,000
islands stretched out between the
two continental shelves of Asia
and Australia, Indonesia has been
a second home to Punj Lloyd.
Presenting Punj Lloyd with its first
ever overseas contract almost two
decade ago, Indonesia set the
foundation for Punj Lloyd’s journey as
a global EPC conglomerate.
Working to international safety
standards and developing local
manpower skill sets over several
years ensured a series of successes
for Punj Lloyd in Indonesia.
The treacherous fields of Tunu
in Kalimantan, located partially
onshore in swamp terrain and
partially offshore in shallow waters
on the outer margin of the Mahakam
Delta, are witness to the pipelines
laid by Punj Lloyd. Mahakam Delta
is infamous for the shallow sea
with excessive surface currents,
the inner delta, criss-crossed by
rivers and inhabited by salt-water
crocodiles, snakes and other
reptiles. Punj Lloyd has laid pipelines
in Tambora Field, also located
in East Kalimantan, on the inner
margin of the Mahakam Delta.
Punj Lloyd’s own equipment
facility, Sungaipurun, sprawling
over 45,000 sq m maintains
the huge fleet of amphibious
equipment, innovatively designed
and fabricated in-house at the
yard. It is at Sungaipurun that a
1,000 T capacity skidway was
built to load out the South Utility
Platform for Tunu Phase II.
