EPC works on Ras Tanura clean fuels project have recently been completed.
Construction works are currently in progress on this scheme.
Work on the two main packages of the project will be completed by the end of 2020. The start-up and commissioning of the project will be completed in the first quarter of 2021.
Sherwin-Williams has revealed the scope of its work with Spanish contractor Tecnicas Reunidas on this project, where it delivered single coating protection against corrosion and high heat for the oil and gas bulk valves of the project, located near the industrial port city of Jubail. The Heat-Flex Hi-Temp 1200 product was used by Sherwin-Williams at the refinery. Heat-Flex Hi-Temp 1200 is, according to the Cleveland-HQ'd company, a single-component corrosion under insulation (CUI) product for high-heat applications that can help reduce damage from shop to field with faster shop throughput and provide lower volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
KAEFER in Saudi Arabia has been awarded a significant contract for scaffolding works at the Ras Tanura Refinery by our client Tecnicas Reunidas. This new project started in April and is expected to run until September 2020.
