WHO WE ARE
Dynamic . Innovative . Customer Focused
Thaitan International Pte. Ltd. (TIPL) was officially established in Singapore in November 2020 with the incorporation of an existing joint venture between Thaitan Drilling Co. Ltd. and Kim Heng Marine & Oilfield Pte. Ltd., a partnership which had been formed to provide customers in the energy and utilities sectors with a complete, integrated package of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) services.
TIPL is able to draw on the combined expertise, equipment and experience of both partners to offer our customers a full range of HDD services for oil & gas, power, telecommunications and water projects, both onshore and offshore.
Kim Heng (based in Singapore) owns a large fleet of multi-purpose barges and support vessels and has a strong fabrication, procurement, logistics and project management capability. Thaitan Drilling (based in Thailand) owns and operates a growing fleet of HDD rig spreads in the region and has an extensive HDD project track record.
In 2023, TIPL expanded its service offering to include the provision of Direct Pipe services, an alternative trenchless construction solution for the installation of large diameter pipeline crossings. The Direct Pipe method combines the benefits of both HDD and micro-tunnelling to create a single-pass, one-step process using a steerable tunnel boring machine.
TIPL’s leadership and project management teams comprise highly skilled professionals with a wealth of project experience. The company’s headquarters and marine services base are located in Singapore while the main HDD and Direct Pipe equipment storage and maintenance facility is based in Thailand. From these locations we are well positioned to mobilise our equipment and personnel quickly and cost-efficiently to project locations throughout the Asia Pacific region.
We are an ambitious, dynamic, customer focused company, constantly striving to improve our performance and exceed the expectations of our customers and other stakeholders.
