| Strabag subsidiary secures two new orders The Strabag group has secured two new orders totalling more than € 40 million in Saudi Arabia. The 100 % Strabag subsidiary DYWIDAG Saudi Arabia Co. Ltd. (DSA) in February was awarded the contract to build two warehouses at the industrial port of Jubail, a large industrial city on Saudi Arabia's Persian Gulf coast. The client is the Saudi Polymers Company, a joint venture of Chevron and Phillips. Saudi Polymers, one of the largest petrochemical processing companies, requires warehouse capacity at the port for its polymer exports. The € 18 million project comprises the turnkey construction of two warehouses with surface areas of 27,000 m² and 37,000 m², an administration building, guard houses and reinforced storage sites for containers. DSA will build the warehouses using prefabricated sections with façade cladding on a concrete floor. The project is scheduled for completion in mid-2011. Also in Jubail, DSA has been hired by a consortium consisting of Chiyoda Petrostar Ltd. and Samsung Saudi Arabia Ltd. to build a coker unit by the end of 2011. A Memorandum of Understanding in this regard was signed on 2 March 2010. The coker unit forms part of the new refinery that is currently being built and which from 2013 will process 400, 000 barrels of Saudi Arabian petroleum a day into environmentally friendly fuels. The refinery is being built by Saudi ARAMCO TOTAL Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP), a joint venture of state-owned Saudi Aramco and French petroleum giant Total. The € 23 million coker unit to produce petroleum coke (petcoke) will consist of the facility housing the coke drums, a collection chamber with two coke reservoirs, the coke oven, as well as foundations for the fractionation unit and several pipe bridges and access roads. In all, the project will involve 35,000 m³ of concrete, 4,300 tonnes of reinforcement, 50,000 m³ of excavated material and 90,000 m³ of fill. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
