Jacobs receives contract from BASF for Antwerp site

Jacobs Engineering Group Inc announced today that it received a frame agreement from BASF Antwerp N.V., part of BASF, the world’s leading chemical company, to provide engineering services at BASF’s integrated chemicals complex in Antwerp, Belgium. 

Under the terms of the contract, Jacobs is providing process, piping and electrical/ instrumentation engineering services. Officials did not disclose the contract value, but noted that the contract duration is three years. 

BASF’s integrated approach to manufacturing, research, infrastructure, processes and management is known as Verbund, a German word meaning linked or integrated to the maximum degree. The Antwerp site is BASF’s second-largest Verbund site; it comprises more than 50 installations located on 6km2 (over two square miles). 

In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Mark Bello stated, “Having provided engineering services at this major production site since 2003, we are delighted to build upon our close working relationship with BASF. We look forward to continuing to support BASF’s Verbund principles at the site.”
