amongst the largest indoor construction facilities in Europe. All locations are capable of handling several large projects simultaneously.
Our fabrication workshop facility in Poland specializes in the (pre)fabrication of small offshore steel and piping constructions and
substructures and provides service to the Heerema Fabrication Group fabrication facilities, as well as other clients in the oil & gas and
energy industries and civil and infrastructure markets. In addition, skilled and qualified welders, fitters and general steelworkers can be
provided on a project basis to serve clients with crucial on-site support.
