DUBAI, September 21, 2021
India's top engineering and construction conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (L&T) said one of its subsidiaries has clinched two orders in the construction services segment – one each from Air Products Middle East Industrial Gases and Gail India.
L&T said the first contract was from Air Products Middle East Industrial Gases for its industrial gas hub (IGH) network project at Jubail, Saudi Arabia.
Under this deal, the company will construct steam methane reformer (SMR) to produce hydrogen, an air separation unit (ASU) to produce oxygen and nitrogen, and hydrogen pressure swing adsorption (PSA) units. The overall duration of the project is 22 months.
The second order was for Gail India’s Mumbai – Nagpur Pipeline under which the company will be responsible for laying steel gas pipeline (24” x 224 km) – Section 1 of Part A and construction of terminals along with associated facilities.
The pipeline project, due to be laid alongside the upcoming Mumbai – Nagpur super communication expressway, has a schedule of 14 months.
Both the contracts were secured by LTHE’s Construction Services Business which offers turnkey construction of refinery, petrochemical, chemical and fertiliser projects, gas-gathering stations and specialises in oil and gas terminals and field development including storage tanks and underground cavern storage systems for LPG, and cross-country hydrocarbon pipelines.-- TradeArabia News Service
