The Shaw Group announced that it has been awarded a multi-phase contract by Saudi Electricity Company.

Under the contract, Shaw will perform a three-phase study to define and recommend operational improvements at 53 power plants throughout the kingdom.

Once the study is complete, Shaw expects to contract with Saudi Electricity Company to provide the modification services for those plants.
 
“Shaw has a unique position in the power industry that allows us to provide multi-faceted services for our clients,” said J M Bernhard Jr, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Shaw.

Shaw recently completed a grassroots ethylene plant in Al-Jubail, Saudi Arabia, and has operations and offices in locations throughout the region.

Shaw offers a premier portfolio of nuclear, fossil and renewable power expertise.

The undisclosed value of the contract will be included in Shaw’s Fossil, Renewables & Nuclear segment’s backlog of unfilled orders in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010.-TradeArabia News Service
