Rolta International has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract from Sadara Chemical Company (Sadara) to implement a comprehensive Engineering System at its complex, which will be the world’s largest petrochemical facility ever built in a single phase. The value of the contract has not been disclosed.
The project will be managed by a global Rolta team working out of the United States, India and Saudi Arabia, and will be completed by late 2014.
With a total investment of about US$20 billion, Sadara is now building and will own and operate an integrated chemical complex in Jubail Industrial City II in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Comprised of 26 manufacturing units, the Sadara complex will possess flexible cracking capabilities and will produce over 3 million metric tons of high value-added chemical and performance plastics products.
Rolta will leverage its in-depth knowledge of engineering work processes, application systems, IT and systems integration to provide an extensive suite of engineering solutions which will support Process Engineering, Technical Support, Process Automation and Control, Asset Integrity, Analytical Lab and Standards, and Document Management.
“A successful implementation of the Engineering System is vital to the support and efficient operation of the Sadara Complex,” said Taher Nemer, Project Manager Manufacturing & Engineering Systems, Sadara Project. “We have partnered with Rolta on this challenging project because they have the breadth of sophisticated engineering IT expertise and have proven global delivery capabilities that are required for such an important project.”
