AMEC Foster Wheeler

While the expected merger with fellow British engineering company Wood Group will significantly boost Amec Foster Wheeler’s growth prospects, giving it access to a combined portfolio of EPC services, its own operations in the MENA energy market has considerably raised its profile as an engineering services provider. Al Hosn Gas, late last year, awarded a Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contract to Amec Foster Wheeler, as part of its plans to expand the gas plant’s capacity by 50%. The British firm – one of the key players in the GCC region – has extensive experience of executing similar projects. The FEED services contract will enable Al Hosn Gas to optimise the design of the expansion project with minimal technical, cost and schedule risks.
