Kentz secures commissioning contract award in Alaska

Kentz Corporation Limited, the holding company of the Kentz engineering and construction Group, is pleased to announce a contract award in Alaska, for the Point Thomson gas cycling and condensate production plant.

The award, through Kentz USA, is the Group's largest US contract to date and it will be running for the next three years under the Technical Support Services (TSS) business unit. Working with local partner, Jago Contracting Management, Kentz will be undertaking commissioning work in arctic conditions and the project scope will include the mobilisation of engineering employees into California, Washington, alongside personnel into Korea for the fabrication requirement. Kentz personnel will then follow the project to Alaska to participate in commissioning activities on site.

Whilst a comparatively small award for the Group, Kentz's involvement in the early phases of the Point Thomson Project is extremely positive. Further, the award of this contract in Alaska will form a foundation for Kentz to expand into this geographic region and build on the Group's arctic engineering and construction expertise.

The Point Thomson Project is located on the North Slope of Alaska.

Christian Brown, Chief Executive Officer of Kentz, commented: "We are delighted to add to our global portfolio of work and our TSS business unit has a wealth of experience in executing engineering and construction projects in such harsh environments.

"The global opportunity for Kentz is evident and the award of a contract for highly specialised services in a new and challenging geographic region is an excellent example of how Kentz will continue to grow with its blue-chip client base."
