STI Group’s work with Aker Solutions in the manufacturing and installation of a KFELS mast for oil and gas drilling operations is a testament to their commitment to quality and speed.

In 2007, STI industrial contractors were tasked with producing an extensive 198 ft tall steel structure from the ground up. With a strict timeline, they crafted a comprehensive and timely solution that included fabrication, construction for performance testing, assembly, and delivery.

The mast is extremely important in a drilling operation as it connects the rig to the machinery while providing ease of access to the equipment. These steel structures are very large, which makes fabrication and delivery quite complex and time-consuming. They are becoming more popular due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

The mast’s unique 21 ft by 21 ft footprint and its $2.4 million worth made the process challenging, but STI Group completed it before the estimated date with over 26,000 man-hours of work. 

Each component was inspected, and once approved, the mast was disassembled and packaged for delivery. Their attention to detail allowed them to surpass client expectations and deliver the completed rig ahead of schedule. This turnkey solution from fabrication to installation not only resulted in cost savings but also decreased the standard turnaround window for the mast to be in production.

STI Group’s expertise in the field of oil and gas drilling operations is clearly demonstrated with this project. They are always looking for ways to innovate and improve processes, making them a reliable partner for any company needing fabrication work done.
