M&M Engineering’s Port aux Basque Facilities
Available for Large Scale $50 million to $200 million dollar projects
The offshore fabrication facility is located at Port-Aux-Basques, on the South West Coast of Newfoundland.

The facilities are positioned in an all season port with year-round access to major sea routes. The facilities are designed for fabricating and outfitting:
•
Modules, tanks, cells, nodes, skids, stacks for the developing offshore industry.
•
Transport and oil storage barges.
•
Ship repair and maintenance.
