CB&I has been awarded a contract, valued at approximately US$70 million, by JG Summit Petrochemical Corp. (JGSPC) for the Stage 1 Expansion project in Batangas City in the Philippines. CB&I's scope of work includes the engineering, fabrication and construction of ten traditional field erected storage tanks, one double-wall liquefied petroleum gas storage tank and three spheres. Additional scope of work includes technical evaluation to service multiple tanks on the project.
"CB&I has a long-standing relationship with JGSPC and more than 45 years of experience in the Philippines," said Richard Heo, CB&I's Executive Vice President of Fabrication Services. "CB&I previously provided a technology license, basic engineering package and heater supply to the project. This award underlines JGSPC's confidence in CB&I's vertically integrated capabilities and further strengthens our presence in the region."
