New production and processing units keep contractors busy
New investment in production and processing facilities in Europe, the Middle East and Australia are ensuring that the engineering contracting community has healthy order books. Eugene McCarthy reports.
La nueva inversión en producción y en instalaciones de procesamiento en Europa, Oriente Medio y Australia está garantizando que la comunidad que contrata ingeniería tenga libros de pedidos muy saludables. Informa Eugene McCarthy.
Neue Investitionen in Produktions- und Verarbeitungsanlagen in Europa, den Nahen Osten und Australien verschaffen den Auftragnehmern aus dem Maschinenbau volle Auftragsbücher. Eugene McCarthy berichtet.

nternational engineering and project management company AMEC has been awarded two asset support contracts by chemical giant SABIC UK Petrochemicals.
Te first is a £30m (€37m) asset
support contract for plant turnaround services for SABIC’s petrochemicals assets at Wilton and North Tees in the North East of England. Te award, an extension to an existing contract, is for planning, preparation, execution and management of resource and supply chain for major turnarounds and will run through to 2014. It includes SABIC’s aromatics, low density polyethylene (LDPE) and olefins plants (Fig. 1).

AMEC also has been awarded a
£10m (€12.4m) contract to provide project services to BP for the Kinneil enhanced gas separation (EGS) project in Grangemouth, Scotland. Te project will modify and extend
BP’s existing Kinneil crude oil stabilisation terminal. AMEC will work in partnership with BP to deliver mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation services, as well as construction and project management.
Te main activities of the Kinneil terminal are stabilisation of crude oil from the North Sea Forties Field and processing and treatment of natural gas liquids from the St Fergus gas terminals. Tis latest project will enable the facility to process unstabilised crude oil, which has a high gas to oil ratio, to meet the requirements of BP’s customers.
