MONTREAL, Jan. 12, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX:
SNC) is pleased to announce that SNC-Lavalin Fayez Engineering
(SLFE), an engineering consultancy partnership between SNC-Lavalin
and Dr. Zuhair Fayez, has been
awarded a five-year extension to its existing General Engineering
Services Plus (GES+) contract with Saudi Aramco, with three
one-year options to extend.
Under the contract, SNC-Lavalin will be invited to bid on
front-end engineering, detailed engineering and project management
services to support the implementation of Saudi Aramco's capital
and sustaining capital programs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Projects will include
onshore oil and gas production and processing facilities, building
and infrastructure projects, as well as refining and petrochemical
facilities.
SLFE has completed over 200 projects under the GES+ initiative
over the past five years, most of which were competitively bid
in-Kingdom against other Saudi Aramco qualified GES+ contractors
and executed out of SLFE's head offices located in Al-Khobar,
Saudi Arabia.
"Saudi Aramco has been a valued client of ours for over 20
years," said Martin Adler,
President, Oil & Gas, SNC-Lavalin. "We are honoured to have
this opportunity to continue our relationship as an approved GES+
contractor, and contribute to the Kingdom's program to increase
local expertise and employment. We are very proud of the confidence
Saudi Aramco has shown in our technical expertise, systems and
project management capability, and we are looking forward to
continuing our collaboration under this new long-term agreement to
help Saudi Aramco achieve the objectives set out under the GES+
contract."
