| SNC-Lavalin acquires engineering division in Saudi Arabia SNC-Lavalin, a Montréal-based company, announced that SNC-Lavalin Fayez Engineering (SLFE), an engineering consultancy joint venture between SNC-Lavalin and its local partners, recently acquired the industrial division of Zuhair Fayez Partnership, a well-respected Saudi Arabian engineering consulting company. SLFE was formed partly in response to Saudi Aramco's General Engineering Services Plus (GES+) initiative, which aims to develop engineering capabilities in the Kingdom. Under the GES+ initiative, SLFE will be invited to bid on front-end engineering and select detailed engineering services contracts to support the implementation of Saudi Aramco's capital program. Projects will include both on- and offshore oil and gas production and processing facilities, infrastructure projects, as well as refining and petrochemical facilities. SLFE has commenced work on engineering services mandates for the GES+ initiative, all of which were competitively bid in-Kingdom by four Saudi Aramco-qualified GES+ contractors. The work is being executed out of SLFE's head offices located in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
