Foster Wheeler to Service Egyptian Petrochemical Unit

Foster Wheeler will provide project management consultancy (PMC) services to Carbon Holdings for a petrochemical complex in Ain Sokhna, Egypt.

The petrochemical unit has a capacity to produce 1.35 million tonnes of polyethylene per year.

Foster Wheeler will provide technical support and consulting services to Carbon Holdings through to the financial close, estimated to be late 2011.

The firm will book the full scope of the PMC award including overseeing activities of the selected engineering, procurement and construction contractors and subcontractors.

The facility is expected to come onstream in 2015.
