MOSCOW (MRC) -- SNC-Lavalin has announced that it has signed a project management contract (PMC) with Long Son Petrochemicals Company Limited (LSP), a subsidiary of the Siam Cement Public Company Limited (SCG) of Thailand, according to Hydrocarbonprocessing.
Under the agreement, SNC-Lavalin and LSP will form an integrated team of dedicated personnel to manage a variety of contractors on site, as part of a comprehensive project management structure. Under this structure, the team will provide oversight and various professional services, including interface and document management, design verification, safety management and risk assessment, engineering services and other studies.
"We look forward to building a long-term relationship with LSP and SCG, by supporting their expansion plans in Vietnam," said Christian Brown, President, Oil & Gas, SNC-Lavalin. "This project will leverage SNC-Lavalin’s project management and technical skills, as well as further strengthen our PMC reputation in petrochemicals and position us for future opportunities in Vietnam and globally."
LSP is planning to develop, construct and operate the first integrated petrochemicals complex in Vietnam. Located on Long Son Island in Vung Tau City, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province, southeast of Ho Chi Minh City, the USD5.4 billion complex will consist of an olefins cracker, high density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and polypropylene (PP) units, tank farm, central utility facilities, port and jetty. Once completed it will have olefins production capacity of 1.6 million tons per year.
As MRC reported earlier, in March 2018, SNC-Lavalin (SNC) in consortium with TechnipFMC was awarded a lump sum EPC contract to supply Nova Chemicals with two gas cracking furnaces. This award supports the recently announced third phase of the conversion and expansion of Nova Chemicals’ Corunna cracker. The cracker which is expected to increase the unit’s current ethylene capacity by more than 50 percent and is linked to the construction of a new polyethylene facility being developed by Nova Chemicals.
