Rolta announced today that it has been awarded an additional scope of work by Sadara Chemical Company (Sadara) to implement a comprehensive Engineering Information System within Sadara's Jubail integrated chemical complex. This multi-million dollar award of additional scope is an amendment to the contract which was awarded earlier and which was also multi-million dollars in value. Rolta was selected for this challenging project based on its unique combination of world class capabilities in Engineering and Information Technology (IT). The project is being managed by a global Rolta team working out of the United States, India and Saudi Arabia.
Sadara represents a unique alliance between Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco), one of the leading energy suppliers to the world, and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow), a leading science and technology company of the world. With a total investment of about US$20 billion, Sadara is now building and will own and operate an integrated chemical complex in Jubail Industrial City II in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Comprised of 26 world scale manufacturing units, the Sadara complex will possess flexible cracking capabilities and will produce over 3 million metric tons of high value-added chemicals and performance plastics products.
Rolta has been leveraging its in-depth knowledge of engineering work processes, application systems, IT and systems integration to provide an extensive suite of engineering solutions designed to support process engineering, technical support, process automation and control, asset integrity, analytical lab and standards, and document management.
"Successful implementation of the engineering system is vital to the support and efficient operation of the Sadara Complex," said Taher Nemer, Project Manager Manufacturing and Engineering Systems, Sadara Project. "We have partnered with Rolta on this challenging project because they've demonstrated the breadth of their sophisticated engineering IT expertise and have proven global delivery capabilities that are required for such an important project."
Mr. K. K. Singh, Chairman and CEO of Rolta, commented, "We are very pleased to have been able to demonstrate our superior performance during the initial phase and win the customer's confidence for the second phase of work. Rolta is fully committed to the success of this important project."
