Senior officials of
Qalhat LNG awarded ‘Certificate of Recognition’ |
| |
in appreciation
of the contribution of Bahwan Engineering Company LLC (BEC)
in the construction of the prestigious US$. 700 million
QLNG Project at Qalhat Facilities near Sur.
Mr. Harib Bin Abdullah Al Kitani, General Manager & CEO of
Qalhat LNG presented to Mr. S.K. Virmani, Managing
Director of BEC the certificate with citation “in
recognition of their safe, efficient and timely completion
of Mechanical, Electrical and Instrumentation construction
works for Qalhat LNG Project, 2006”. He lauded BEC’s
efforts in completing the project on time and exceeding
the targeted high level of Omanisation. He also praised
BEC’s achievement of 8.4 million man-hours without Lost
Time Injuries, which helped the project to reach one of
the best safety records in construction of similar plants
globally.
Mr. Maurice Merzian, Executive Project Manager of Qalhat
LNG presented the certificate for excellent safety
performance.
Qalhat LNG started production in December 2005 - ahead of
schedule and after agreement with the EPC contractor - at
the end of a record-setting construction schedule that
earned Qalhat LNG a flurry of awards for quality control,
worker safety, HSE and Omanisation.
BEC, as a major subcontractor for the EPC contractor,
Chiyoda-Foster Wheeler, undertook the complete Mechanical,
Electrical and Instrumentation works of the Qalhat LNG
plant. The contract covered all structural steel erection
equipment hook-ups, entire piping works, electrical and
instrumentation for the plant, and the complete
integration of the new train with the existing two-train
facility of Oman LNG.
In implementing this contract, BEC earned the distinction
of being the only Omani company in the GCC with the
expertise to build an LNG plant - a distinction hitherto
held only by a select group of international engineering
contractors. |
