Sector focus

Industries & project types in Ho Chi Minh City

Sector experience matters more than hours. Here is where our Ho Chi Minh City workload sits and what those packages contain.

01

Mining

Sector page

Heavy, abrasive-duty structures built far from anywhere — so the drawings have to be right first time.

  • Conveyor galleries and trestles
  • Transfer towers and chutes
  • Silos, bins and hoppers
  • Crusher and mill building steel

Cryogenic service, heavy modularisation and the documentation trail an LNG EPC expects.

  • Cryogenic stress and support design
  • Modularised process racks
  • Tank appurtenances and access steel
  • Jetty and loading-arm structures
03

Marine & Offshore

Sector page

Floating and fixed marine assets where weight control and corrosion allowance are part of the design brief.

  • FPSO module steelwork
  • Jetty, dolphin and mooring structures
  • Marine-grade skid packages
  • Transport and lift analysis
04

Commercial

Sector page

Building steelwork where architectural coordination and erection sequence matter as much as the member sizes.

  • Office and retail steel frames
  • Atrium and façade support steel
  • Connection design and bolt lists
  • Federated BIM model reviews

Commercial & compliance

Contracting, IP and invoicing for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Engineering is the easy part of an offshore engagement — the contract, the IP and the invoice are what stall it. Here is how we set those up for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam clients.

Fixed-price package

Quote in 24 h · 2–4 milestones

Best for: A defined scope — one building, one skid, one vessel

Lump sum against an agreed drawing and tonnage list. Milestone invoicing, and change orders only for scope you approve in writing.

Rate-based delivery

Weekly reporting · monthly invoice

Best for: Scope that is still moving

Per-drawing, per-tonne or per-hour rates fixed up front, with a weekly burn and progress report so the invoice never surprises you.

Dedicated engineers (ODC)

Monthly per seat · 1-month notice

Best for: A continuous workload across many projects

Named engineers reserved for you each month, working in your folder structure, templates and drawing standards under your team lead.

The paperwork, up front

Working with SES from Vietnam

Invoicing currency
USD by default — other currencies on request
Payment terms
Milestone or monthly invoicing, net 30 days from invoice
Contract vehicle
NDA, then a master services agreement with a priced scope schedule per package
IP & ownership
Models, drawings, calculations and native files transfer to you on final payment
Cross-border paperwork
Tax-residency and invoice documentation supplied for Vietnam finance and treaty relief
Insurance
Professional indemnity cover; certificate issued with the proposal on request

Local practice: Documentation is built for AS/NZS fabrication practice and for principal-contractor ITP, hold-point and witness-point regimes.

Confidentiality, IP & data security

  • Mutual NDA signed before drawings are exchanged — usually inside one working day.
  • All models, drawings, calculations and native files become your property on final payment.
  • Project data lives in access-controlled folders; only the named team on your job can open them.
  • No sub-contracting of your scope to a third party without your written consent.
  • Every deliverable is produced on genuine licensed software, so your submission chain stays clean.
  • Transfers over your portal, SharePoint, or our encrypted link — whichever your IT policy allows.
