Jacobs contract with InoChem in Saudi Arabia
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc announced today it was awarded the second phase of InoChem’s project management consultancy (PMC) services contract to undertake, among other important activities, the development of its soda ash and calcium chloride manufacturing complex in Yanbu Industrial City, Saudi Arabia.
Under the terms of the agreement, Jacobs is providing PMC services during all phases of the project. The services are being led and closely supervised by Jacobs’ Al-Khobar office, with work being executed out of multiple locations around the world and specialist support from its offices in Shanghai, Abu Dhabi and Antwerp.
InoChem is the first manufacturer of soda ash in Saudi Arabia and the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Persian Gulf region, as well as the biggest manufacturer of calcium chloride in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
In making the announcement, Abdul Aziz Yahya Al-Muaiyyad, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of IDEA Soda Ash & Calcium Chloride Co. (ISACC), said the signing is just another important milestone in the overall development of the project progressing on time and on track. “We are delighted to continue working with Jacobs on our manufacturing complex in Yanbu Industrial City, where we are building one of the Kingdom’s strategic projects to diversify economy and reduce dependence on oil exports. Not only will the project contribute to industry developments through supplying its products to a number of downstream manufacturing projects, it will also contribute to achieving a Saudization rate of up to 75 percent of the total workforce,” he said.
Jacobs’ Group Vice President Bassim Shebaro stated, "Jacobs has been involved with the InoChem project since commencing work on the concept phase, and we are proud to have been selected to continue our work on one of the most strategic projects in the Kingdom.” He added, “Our services are being led from our Saudi operations, which further demonstrates our commitment to Saudization through the recruitment, training and development of local Saudi talent, in line with InoChem priorities.”
