Bateman Litwin recently announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Litwin SA, has been awarded an engineering, construction and procurement (EPC) contract with Maroc Phosphore, a subsidiary of the Moroccan OCP Group, for the construction of a new thermal power plant on the Maroc Chimie chemical complex located in Safi, Morocco.
The project, worth US $85 million, is part of an ongoing programme of modernisation, revamping and extension of OCP’s chemical complexes.
Litwin will supply two extraction-condensing steam turbine generators, with a nominal power up to about 16 MW as well as all the associated infrastructure and civil works for a complete facility.

As the lead contractor, Litwin will be responsible for all aspects of project management, including the conception, procurement, shipment, construction, staff training, commissioning, and testing of the new thermo electrical power plant.
“We are very pleased to have received repeat business from OCP for the construction of power stations. Furthermore, it is the sixth contract awarded to Litwin in less than two years in the Moroccan power market,” said Max Abitbol, CEO of Litwin.
Construction of the plant is expected to be completed in approximately 27 months.
