An award is imminent for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to build the pipeline serving the Ain Dar and Shedgum water injection project in the Eastern Province. Lebanon's Contracting & Trading (CAT)is frontrunner for the Saudi Aramcocontract having submitted the low bid, industry sources say (MEED 13:2:04).
CAT is understood to have submitted a price of about $33 million for the contract, followed closely by Turkey's Tekfen. A total of eight local and international contractors submitted bids for the project in early February.
The contract's scope covers the construction of a 56-inch-diameter, 80-kilometre-long pipeline linking the Qurrayah seawater treatment plant with the Ain Dar water injection facility number 1.
Additional works comprise the construction of two surge relief tanks and two new injection lines with diameters of 10-30 inches and a total length of 48 kilometres. The project manager is Canada's SNC Lavalin.
Italy's Snamprogettiis working on the EPC contract to build the Qurrayah treatment plant, which will be located south of Dammam. The company has yet to award a subcontract for the construction portion (MEED 19:9:03).
