Chiyoda Almana Engineering LLC (Chiyoda Almana), a leading engineering and construction contractor in Qatar, has been awarded the long-term engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCm) services contract by RasGas.
Chiyoda Almana will provide EPCm services required for projects that support the operations of RasGas onshore and offshore facilities.
The five-year contract will cover small to medium-sized projects for a total of seven liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants and three large-sized gas processing plants, helium plants and other facilities operated by RasGas at Ras Laffan.
At the contract signing ceremony, RasGas chief executive officer Hamad Mubarak al-Muhannadi said, “With the signing of this new five-year term contract, we hope to ensure continued efficiency in completing ongoing projects, maintaining the highest safety standards and drawing on the benefits of Chiyoda Almana’s familiarity with our operating assets and brownfield execution capability developed during the previous EPCm contract.
“As a world-class supplier of energy, RasGas is committed to deliver the best results in operational excellence. This commitment to quality has also been reflected in selecting the most capable contractors and establishing pre-eminent partnerships, which have made a significant contribution towards adding values to our work culture by fulfilling cost and performance targets,” he added.
Mamoru Nakano, operation director (Gas & LNG Project Operations 1) and senior vice-president, Chiyoda Corporation, said: “Chiyoda Almana has a strong business relationship with RasGas, and we are so honoured to be awarded the RasGas long term EPCm services contract, which will definitely strengthen these business ties.
“We are looking forward to complete the newly awarded contract in the same manner as for previously completed long term EPCm contract and with the priority in terms of safety performance, quality of our personnel and our record of reliable delivery.”
