CB&I wins storage tanks project in Saudi Arabia

CB&I has announced it has been awarded a contract by Técnicas Reunidas for new product storage tanks that will be part of a clean fuels expansion project at Saudi Aramco's refinery in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia.

CB&I's scope includes the engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction of nine flat bottom tanks, as well as modifications to numerous existing tanks, all of which were previously supplied by CB&I.

In support of Saudi Aramco's In-Kingdom Total Value Add programme, CB&I will provide all fabrication and project management utilising its local facilities in Al Khobar.

The project will facilitate CB&I's ongoing efforts to train, develop and employ Saudi nationals in key positions, the company said.

"This award reinforces our global relationship with Técnicas Reunidas and builds on our nearly 80-year history of supporting Saudi Aramco," said Luke V Scorsone, executive vice president of CB&I's fabrication services operating group.

"Beginning in 1938, CB&I has provided nearly all of the product storage at the Ras Tanura facility."
