MONTREAL, July 2, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin
(TSX: SNC) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a
three-year Master Services Agreement by Emirates Global Aluminium
(EGA) to provide engineering and project management support
services to complement its existing resources in delivering
operations capital projects at EGA's Al Taweelah and Jebel Ali
smelter Complexes, and Al Taweelah alumina refinery.
Under this agreement, SNC-Lavalin will provide integrated
engineering services covering all multi-disciplinary aspects
related to power plant, energy distribution, water desalination,
aluminum smelting, casting and carbon plants of EGA's Al Taweelah
and Jebel Ali smelter complexes. This mandate will also include
delivering multi-disciplinary engineering services pertaining to Al
Taweelah alumina refinery. In addition, the services will include
project management services such as construction management, cost
control and planning, contract engineering and project portfolio
management.
"As a premier engineering end-to-end services provider, we have
established a long track record of delivering some of the world's
leading mining and metallurgy projects," said Craig Muir, President, Resources, SNC-Lavalin.
"Over the past 15 years, we have been successfully delivering EGA's
large-scale projects to the highest quality and safety standards.
We are honored to extend our long-term partnership and to continue
providing our global-caliber expertise and local knowledge to
support industry growth in the UAE."
SNC-Lavalin's partnership with EGA started in 2004 with
providing FEED, EPCM and Technology Packaging services for Dubai
Aluminium (DUBAL) and all its extension projects. DUBAL and
Emirates Aluminium (EMAL) merged to form EGA in 2014.
Delivering repeated business on schedule and within budget has
resulted in increasing the Jebel Ali smelter's production capacity
from 680,000 TPY to current capacity (~ 1.1 MTPY). The
award-winning Al Taweelah smelter complex in Abu Dhabi, the world's largest single-site
aluminum smelter when it was constructed, is another successful
collaboration with EGA, where SNC-Lavalin provided engineering,
procurement and construction management (EPCM) services for the
project's first and second phases.
