SNC-Lavalin said its jointly-owned Saudi registered engineering company, SNC-Lavalin Fayez Engineering, has been awarded a General Engineering Services (GES) contract by Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refinery (YASREF), a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Sinopec. 

The two-year contract will see SNC-Lavalin Fayez Engineering carry out a range of engineering services for a new refining and petrochemical facility in Yanbu.

“We’re very pleased to secure this contract, which further extends our hydrocarbon footprint in Saudi Arabia outside the Saudi Aramco GES+ contract that we were awarded recently,” said Neil Bruce, president, resources & environment, SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. 

“Our international presence and experience in the oil and gas sector was a key reason for this success.”

SNC-Lavalin is one of the leading engineering and construction groups in the world and a major player in the ownership of infrastructure, and in the provision of operations and maintenance services.
