SNC-Lavalin awarded Wasit Gas Plant installation contract by Saudi Aramco

ABU DHABI -- SNC-Lavalin has been appointed by Saudi Aramco to install additional facilities for a major gas processing facility in Saudi Arabia’s eastern province.

Under the scope of work for the multi-million dollar contract, SNC-Lavalin will construct the Arabiah Condensate Handling Facility and Sour Water Disposal Unit Project at the Wasit Gas Plant. The work will also include the installation of process equipment as well as related civil and structural, piping, electrical and instrumentation/control systems. Work has commenced with a target completion date of late 2019.

Wasit Gas Plant is one of the largest facilities of its type to come on-stream in Saudi Arabia, and is an enabler for the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 economic roadmap, feeding into the national master gas network to meet domestic energy demand.

“SNC-Lavalin has an impressive track record of successful project delivery during our 40-years of working with Saudi Aramco and we are pleased to continue our long-term relationship on another important project,” said Christian Brown, president SNC-Lavalin. “Not only does this contract further demonstrate our industry-recognized onshore construction solutions, it also emphasizes our commitment to supporting Saudi Aramco’s IKTVA localization program to increase employment and skills development of local Saudi talent."
