Aveng Grinaker-LTA awarded Sasol contracts
Construction and engineering group Aveng Grinaker-LTA’s Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) business unit has recently been awarded several maintenance and shutdown contracts and electrical and instrumentation installation projects at Sasol.
This includes the mechanical shutdowns for the vinyl chloride monomer, polyvinyl chloride, caustic and chlorine plants at Sasol’s Sasolburg operations.
The work comprises the supply, supervision, coordination and management of labour, personnel and equipment in order to render a comprehensive mechanical shutdown service at the Midlands site in Sasolburg.
Further, Aveng Grinaker-LTA’s M&E business unit has been awarded the mechanical shutdowns on Unit 043 (steam generation), Unit 300 (hexene train), Unit 590 (ethyl acetate), chemical work-up, Unit 301 and 304 (octene) and Unit 303 (Safol) at the Secunda Synfuels operations.
The scope of work includes the supply of all labour, supervision, services, equipment, tools, materials, transport, testing devices, warehousing and all other elements necessary for the execution and preplanning of all mechanical shutdown work.
The contract also includes coordination of resources for scaffolding, insulation, blasting, painting, quality control inspection, X-rays, field welders, rigging services and ultrahigh-pressure water cleaning. The contract is expected to be completed by September.
The awarding of these contracts follows work that has already started on the Sasol Fischer-Tropsch Wax Expansion Project (FTWEP) – the Work Pack 3 Phase 02 and Work Pack 6 Phase 2 electrical and instrumentation projects, which are progressing well.
The projects were awarded to Aveng Grinaker-LTA in August 2015 and February 2016 respectively. The new plant comprises two new slurry bed reactors and one common reduction reactor.
The scope of work includes the supply, installation, testing and handover of plant and materials for part of the electrical and instrumentation component of the project. It also includes the installation of free issue equipment, cold commissioning and assisting with the hot commissioning of the plant.
Aveng Grinaker-LTA had completed Phase 1 of the project, which included electrical power supply installation, the supply of plant materials, fabrication, site installation and erection and inspection and testing to ensure that the synthesis plant performed optimally, in July 2015.
