MONTREAL, July 26, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin
(TSX: SNC) announces a contract award on the Fine Ash Dam 6 Project
in Secunda for Sasol Group Technology in South Africa.
SNC-Lavalin's scope of work for this project includes the
structural, mechanical electrical, instrumentation and piping
(SMEIP) construction services for the new facility. This will
consist of the installation of approximately 15 km of piping, 370
tons of steel, and various mechanical and electrical equipment.
The Fine Ash Dam 6 Project is to support the life extension of
the Sasol Secunda operations facilities by constructing a new fine
ash dam. This will take the ash generated by the Secunda
operations, in stages, to the new Ash Dam 6 as Fine Ash Dam 5 is
decommissioned. The construction of the project will be completed
in a number of phases and this award is part of the first phase,
with a peak workload forecast for September
2017 and an average team size of 125 people. Fine Ash Dam 6
will be constructed in accordance with the latest environmental
requirements with the final phase being completed in
2021.
"We are delighted to be awarded work with Sasol, providing
solutions to this logistically complex project," said Martin Adler, President, Oil & Gas "We are
currently mobilizing and at the peak workload expect a team of up
to 250. With our strong track record in training and development
within the local community, we expect 80% of our craft team members
to be from the local area. We look forward to executing the first
phase and hope to continue working with Sasol through the latter
phases of the project."
