Consortium Italoffshore started is activity in 1984, on the initiative of a group of leading Italian companies including IREM s.p.a. and Sonim s.r.l., that had decided to join synergically their complementary resources within a Consortium, whereby they were able of operating effectively to program using leading-edge technology in the construction, hook-up and commissioning of turnkey offshore platform contracts.Innovative techniques and expertise employed in the assembly of large steel structure enable to launch and deliver large platforms weighing over 30.000 tons with complete reliability while complying with clients’ demanding delivery requirements.
Consortium Italoffshore based its main yard for the construction and assembly of jackets, decks and modules in the Augusta, anchorage at a Punta Cugno, near Syracuse in Sicily.
Punta Cugno Yard covers an available surface of 151.000 sq meters and it has been set for the installation of offshore structures (jackets, deck, modules and similar) starting from the prefabrication of components such as pipes, nodes, panels.
Punta Cugno Area: the yard has been set for the installation of offshore structures (jackets, deck, modules and similar) starting from the prefabrication of components such as pipes, nodes, panels, etc..
The overall available surface of 180.000 sq meters is subdivided into several functional areas that allow an optimal flow of materials and avoid interference with the assembly sequence:
a 12.000 sq meters waterfront area for storage of materials is able to receive large prefabricated components shipped by sea.
an additional area of 6.000 sq meters for storage of plates and piping is located adjacent to the area of prefabrication.
a sandblasting and special treatment area is located inside a warehouse of 2.000 sq meters for components that require such activity.
Most of the surface of the yard with waterfront (about 120.000 sq meters) is available for the construction of
offshore structures (jackets, decks and modules).

The area dedicated to services includes office buildings, canteen, warehouses and workshops for bending sheet metal and prefabrication, and for maintenance of existing facilities in the area.
